Grabbing value from an API (existing code)

[Skyrider]

Here's the entire PHP file just for the sake of it:

http://pastebin.com/8NeTPHZi

See line 128 to 150 and 207

I've created a PHP code specially designed to check 2 variables:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_steamconnect.php');

// Steam Level Information API
$steam_id = get_user_steamid($stc_userinfo);
$steam_info = fetch_steam_info($steam_id, $vbulletin->options['stc_apikey']);

var_dump($steam_info['player_level']);
var_dump($steam_info['tradeban']);

This is the result at the top of the page:

int(36) NULL

The first, showing my steam level, 36. Which is correct. The steam_level API always has worked.. so I copy/pasted the code to see if I can get it to work for tradeban API as well. However, the second tradeban var_dump shows NULL, thus no information was grabbed.

Using:

var_dump($steam_info['EconomyBan'])

Result in: int(-1)

[s]It 'might' be possible its giving NULL results as the results are being cached within files (for each user) that is defined in another PHP file:

^- Striped above, I've edited this post as I've posted the var_dump results on a separated plugin calling the right information. Left the edit intact, just in case.

---EDIT:

Does this have something to do with it? Seeing -1 is mentioned here, as a matching value.

line 184 to 200 (first pastebin)

$values = $match[1];
	foreach ($values AS $val) {
		$match = array();
		preg_match("/\"(.+)\": ([^,]*),?/", $val, $match);
		if (is_array($match) && count($match) == 3) {

			$name = $match[1];
			$value = trim($match[2]);
			if (!in_array($name, $whitelist)) continue; // Not a setting we're looking for. skip..

			// Strip quotes and slashes
			if ($value{0} == '"' && $value{strlen($value)-1} == '"')
				$value = stripslashes(substr($value, 1, -1));

			$steam_info[$name] = $value;
		}
	}

I'm unsure, still checking into the code why I'm not getting the 'banned' value back.

Really would like to know why.

----SOLVED IT-----

Wanted to share, got it to work with some help.

First, URL near the end had to be "steamids" rather than "steamid"

Second:

$steam_info['EconomyBan'] = is_array($tradeban) && isset($tradeban['players'], $tradeban['players']['EconomyBan']) ? $tradeban['players']['EconomyBan'] : -1;

Had to be:

$steam_info['EconomyBan'] = is_array($tradeban) && isset($tradeban['players'], $tradeban['players'][0]['EconomyBan']) ? $tradeban['players'][0]['EconomyBan'] : -1;

I appreciate the replies however!
