GET Request and JSON response

[montyonthebonty]

Good morning

I'm trying to use Python to connect to a MySQL Database, so I'm trying to use a GET request and a PHP script.

The code I have so far is:

import requests
import json

print 'Hello, World'


url = 'https://www.thebar.inthepub.co.uk/resttest.php'

response = requests.get(url)

dict = response.json()

print (dict)

This then links to a file with the following:

<?php

  echo '<p>test</p>';

$myObj->name = "John";
$myObj->age = 30;
$myObj->city = "New York";

$myJSON = json_encode($myObj);

echo $myJSON;


?>

But when I run it, I get an error, 'No JSON Object could be decoded'. Any ideas why? Is it my code, or is there another module I need to install?

Thanks
Chris
