get something form url

I try to get something form url, but it didn't work, so can some one help me?
This is my code:

PHP:

   $url = "http://plugin.3eeweb.com/";
               $str=file_get_contents($url);
                $son=json_decode($str);
                $status = $son->status;
   $player->sendMessage($status);


InvalidStateException: "Trying to get property of non-object" (E_NOTICE) in "/ME/src/ME/Main" at line 35
Line 35 is $status = $son->status;

And this is my website:
http://plugin.3eeweb.com/

The first $url variable is mistyped as $utl.

... I type it wrong in the threads, so not this error...

$status = $son["status"];

It work, But now I didn't got the error, but still can't read the thing from the website
And if I use Pastebin for my site, it will have this error:
"Cannot use object of type stdClass as array"

You need to set the second parameter in the json_decode function to true to use the results as an array. (Which I do every time.)

I set $son=Json_decode($url,true);
