Does calling a JSON file in PHP work with CF8?

Question

Hello,

In CF7, I was able to use a JSON file in the form with PHP.

Example:

$file = file_get_contents("map.json");

$json_decoded = json_decode($file);

How does this work now in CF8? I can display the file directly in the browser, but in CF8 the debugger outputs:

[map_json_encoded] => Array([returned] => NULL))

What is the problem?

Hi Fred Same in v8, you always have to return the PHP variable you need to be set in the Var list: return $json_decoded;
