I am trying to convert a php array to a json string:
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$userinfo[] = $row;
}
print_r($userinfo);
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
mysqli_close($conn);
This returns an array:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[entity_id] => 24
[product_name] => Burger
[product_image_url] => /b/u/burger_large.jpg
[price] => 234.0000
[category_id] => 59
)
[1] => Array
(
[entity_id] => 25
[product_name] => Massage
[product_image_url] => /2/9/29660571-beauty-spa-woman-portrait-beautiful-girl-touching-her-face.jpg
[price] => 5000.0000
[category_id] => 63
)
[2] => Array
(
[entity_id] => 27
[product_name] => Chicken Biryani
[product_image_url] => /b/i/biryani.jpg
[price] => 500.0000
[category_id] => 59
)
[3] => Array
(
[entity_id] => 28
[product_name] => Panner Chilly
[product_image_url] => /p/a/panner.jpg
[price] => 456.0000
[category_id] => 59
)
[4] => Array
(
[entity_id] => 31
[product_name] => Pizza
[product_image_url] => /p/i/pizza_png7143_1.png
[price] => 125.0000
[category_id] => 59
)
)
if i do json encode on this i get a json string with "[" in the beginning an end. how do i overcome this i want the json string to look like this
{
"entity_id": "31",
"product_name": "Pizza",
"product_image_url": "\/p\/i\/pizza_png7143_1.png",
"price": "125.0000",
"category_id": "59"
}
AND NOT LIKE THIS:
[{
"entity_id": "31",
"product_name": "Pizza",
"product_image_url": "\/p\/i\/pizza_png7143_1.png",
"price": "125.0000",
"category_id": "59"
}]
