how to use jason_encode

[new_member]

Hi,
 
i have an array with five values. I want to encode the array using json_encode in format:
 
{"value1":"val","data":["name", "email"]}
 
where value 1 is a paremeter in php and data is an array. But if i use json_encode it gives me different output

here is my code: $arr['value1'] = 'val';$arr['data'] = $data //arrayjson_encode($arr); it gives me {"value1":"val1","data":{"name", "email"}} 

 
can any one tell men how to encode the array in above format??
 
thanks

The issue is with the array stored in your $data variable.

 

This code:

 

$array = array(
    'value1' => 'val',
    'data' => array('name','email')
);

print_r(json_encode($array));

 

Outputs:

 

{"value1":"val","data":["name","email"]}

Thanks for the reply. The solution you provided actually worked. But i found another problem with my array as i am passing the array values through ajax and getting using $_GET. I have two fields "name" and "email" and values are passed as

 

name: "abc"

email: "test@test.com"

 

which actually gives

 

$data['name'] = "abc"

$data['email'] = "test@test.com"

 

{data:{"name":"abc"}} etc

 

is there any way to pass the array in format without name and email label and pass the values only

 

like

 

data = array("abc", "test@test.com")

 

i actually dont want to get

Have you tried just setting your array like this:

$data = array();
$data[] = "abc";
$data[] = "test@test.com";

or pretty much exactly as you just wrote it:

 

$data = array("abc", "test@test.com");

However personally I would use the key-value pairs, as that way you know exactly what data you're grabbing in the javascript, instead of just an index number.
