Hi!
I'm not quite sure what you mean?

There is an array of image objects returned, which you can access for example:

$image = $my_data->item->images[0]->url;

I don't know of a way to only get the image, just an album object with the images array and fetch the image from there.

Hi,

Notice: Undefined variable: my_data in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 89
Notice: Trying to get property 'item' of non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 89
Notice: Trying to get property 'images' of non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 89
Notice: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 89
Notice: Trying to get property 'url' of non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 89

Sorry, it didn't work. I know that I need to get value in the Array. But "print_r ($ api-> getMyCurrentTrack ());" I don't know how to get images from the output that comes in the code. Can you help me?

Thanks,

Hey!
All right, so you assign the return value of $api->getMyCurrentTrack() to the $my_data variable and then you can access the image URL like this:

$my_data = $api->getMyCurrentTrack();

$image = $my_data->item->images[0]->url;

echo $image;

Merhaba,

When I try this code, I still get an error. The std object data comes but I cannot image value select it from it.

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$images in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 90
Notice: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 90
Notice: Trying to get property 'url' of non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 90

There is a lot of them data in $mydata, so I can get all the information. There is no problem, but I cannot get the images part. The arrays in my question are coming.

Thank you,

Hmm, how does the complete code you're using look? You can wrap it in ``` to make it easier to read. Also, remember to remove your client ID/secret before posting.

Below you can see the php code.

Thanks;

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
ob_start();

$session = new SpotifyWebAPI\Session(
    'Hidden',
    'Hidden',
    'http://localhost:80'
);
$api = new SpotifyWebAPI\SpotifyWebAPI(['auto_refresh' => true, 'auto_retry' => true]);
if (isset($_GET['code'])) {
    $session->requestAccessToken($_GET['code']);
    $api->setAccessToken($session->getAccessToken());
    // $refresh_token = $session->getRefreshToken();
    //print_r($api->me());
} else {
    $options = [
        'scope' => [
            'user-read-currently-playing',
            'user-read-playback-state'
        ],
    ];

    header('Location: ' . $session->getAuthorizeUrl($options));
    die();
}

$my_data = $api->getMyCurrentTrack();
$image = $my_data->item->images[0]->url;
echo $image;

Sorry, my bad.

In my example code I forgot the album part. Replace the $image = ... line with this and it should work:

$image = $my_data->item->album->images[0]->url;
