title: Fetch JSON object with API link by PHP
body: <p>I'm struggling to get JSON object with API link by PHP. (<a href="http://hots.adspreemedia.com/api/characters" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://hots.adspreemedia.com/api/characters</a>). This link should allow me to fetch a list of characters as JSON object.</p>
  
  <p>What I tried was the following code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  $list = file_get_contents('http://hots.adspreemedia.com/api/characters');
  echo $list;
  ?&gt;    
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it just shows only <code>{"status":"200","message":"OK","data":[1,2,3,4]}</code> in my localhost. My final goal is to create a list of characters in PHP file.</p>
