Lorem and Gibberish through PHP using the randomtext.me JSON API

Crikey! Is it so long since I did a post. OK. Here is yet another way of getting Lorem Ipsum or Gibberish to your page, while you test it out. There is a great generator at http://www.randomtext.me/ and they have helpfully supplied us with a JSON based API.

Below is an example ho grabbing 7 paragraphs of gibberish between 30 and 50 characters long. I then echo them to the page.


<?php
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents("http://www.randomtext.me/api/gibberish/p-7/30-50"));
echo $data->text_out;
?>
