Answer 1

I had some hard time with PHP's JSON objects my self,

1. Replace $data = json_decode($api); with $data = json_decode($api, true); to get an associative array.

2. Remove any object checks (like if (is_object($data)) {).

3. Finally, use array style calls instead of object style, for example, change your code from:

$data->rows[0]->elements[0]->distance->value

into something like:

$data['rows'][0]['elements'][0]['distance']['value']
