What steps can be taken to access data from a server in JSON format using PHP?

To access data from a server in JSON format using PHP, you can use the `file_get_contents()` function to retrieve the JSON data from the server and then use `json_decode()` function to parse the JSON data into a PHP array. 

<?php
// URL of the server providing JSON data
$url = 'https://api.example.com/data.json';

// Get JSON data from the server
$json_data = file_get_contents($url);

// Parse JSON data into a PHP array
$data_array = json_decode($json_data, true);

// Access the data from the array
foreach($data_array as $data){
    echo $data['key1'] . ' - ' . $data['key2'] . '<br>';
}
?>
