PHP - Bitcoin total number of all time transactions on blockchain

[nandibear]

I wrote this php to display just the total number of all time Bitcoin transactions on the blockhain.

Does anyone here know of a more efficient way of doing this with php?

Thanks!

Code: Select all

<?php $info2= "https://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions-total?format=json"; $data2 = json_decode(file_get_contents($info2), true); echo serialize($data2['values'][365]['y']); ?>

Wrote this code now and it appears to be much more efficient:

Code: Select all

<?php $info2= "https://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions-total?format=json"; $date2 = '{"values":"values","365":"365","y":"y"}'; $data2 = json_decode(file_get_contents($info2), true); echo $data2['values'][365]['y']; ?>
