nbt725 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Hello ! Can anybody help me converting PHP array to Json I want actually following output thro' this php {identifier:"name", items: [{name:"Anytown", label:"Alaska"}]} I tried following but not giving above. $arr = array (identifier=>'name', items=>array(name=>'Anytown', label=>'Anytown')); echo json_encode($arr); but that does not generate [] but does generate {} for inner array. Actually this json passes to Ajax Javascript handler for Dojo combobox. Please help. Thanks in Advance ! Nbt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbt725 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 No, it gives following : {"identifier":"name","items":{"Champaign":"Champaign","Chicago":"Chicago"}} but we need : {identifier:"name", items: [ {name:"Anytown", label:"Alaska"} ]} And in php 5.2 json_encode() is given which also I tried.

nbt725 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Yea But I need as per mentioned style with [] not {} as Dojo Combobox needs that style. This echo json string with [] is received by Dojo javascript response handler function which gets binded to store to populate combobox dynamically. So please guide me, how should I do it ?

RichardRotterdam Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Re-reading the json i see something now. Ok to make it more readable let's indent it your Json notation { "identifier":"name", "items":{ "Champaign":"Champaign", "Chicago":"Chicago" } } Desired json notation: { identifier:"name", items: [ {name:"Anytown", label:"Alaska"} ] } In the above Json code its still a js object. hover the items inside this object is an array which means you can you store more names inside the items. your php array creation should be something like so: <?php $arr = array ( identifier=>'name', items=>array( array('name'=>'Anytown', 'label'=>'Anytown'), array('name'=>'Second', 'label'=>'Second') ) ); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
