Hi guys I am putting together an array in PHP for encoding into JSON but how do I make it be like

 

"date": [

 

and not

 

"date": {

 

??

 

Not sure even what to call it or look into.

 

Thanks

More specifically I need to mimick this:

 

{
    "timeline":
    {
        "headline":"FifteenTwo",
        "type":"default",
	"startDate":"2012",
	"text":"<span class='c1'>A blog of</span> <span class='c2'>Innovation</span>",
	"asset":
        {
            "media":"idea.jpg",
            "credit":"",
            "caption":"<b>There's a way to do it better - find it.</b> <i>Thomas Edison</i>"
        },
        "date": [
            {
                "startDate":"2012,4,11",
                "headline":"Where good ideas come ferom",
                "text":"We all operate in two contrasting modes, which might be called open and closed.

When you charge the enemy machine-gun post, don't waste energy trying to see the funny side of it. Do it in the 'closed' mode.

But am unable to get it to work. Got the bit up to date okay, just not that and beyond (the bit below).

[trq]

[] is an array in JavaScript while {} is an object (more like a has actually).

 

A numerically indexed array will encode into [] in php while an associative array will encode into {}

[hackalive]

so will doing the non JS way break my code? (probably will yeah).

 

So how do I do the JS way then?

[trq]

Sorry, I edited my post. See above.

Thanks thorpe. Problem solved
