Hi @seedfile

If you query the /movie/credits all you need to do is iterate over the cast array. Each item contains the person, character name and profile image for the movie.

Here's some quick Ruby code showing you the first 4 credits from Fight Club (just as an example):

require 'uri'
require 'net/http'

url = URI("https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550/credits?api_key=###")

http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true

request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url)
response = http.request(request)
parsed_json = JSON.parse(response.read_body)
2.2.3 :039 >   parsed_json['cast'].first(4).map { |item| "#{item['name']} (#{item['character']})" }
 => ["Edward Norton (The Narrator)", "Brad Pitt (Tyler Durden)", "Meat Loaf (Robert 'Bob' Paulson)", "Jared Leto (Angel Face)"]

I have writed this code....

$movcredits = json_decode(file_get_contents("https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/$tmdbmovie/credits?api_key=###"), true);

echo $movcredits["credits_id"];

and didn't working...

Take a look at the response you're getting back, there is no key called credits_id in the root of the JSON object. You need to first access the cast array, then iterate over each item like I did above .

echo $movcredits["cast"][0];

dind't work, have you another php solution like my?

I don't know PHP, so I can't be very helpful with that. There's 2 things I suggest at this point:

  1. Take a look at the TMDb PHP library
  2. You might have better luck posting on something like StackOverflow as the problem here is code related, and not TMDb service related.

Cheers.
