function json_file_append($array, $file)
{
$fo = file_get_contents($file);
$ar = json_decode($fo, true);
if (!is_array($ar)) {
$ar = $array;
} else {
$ar = array_unique(array_merge($ar, $array));
}
fwrite(fopen($file, 'w+'), json_encode($ar, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT));
}
what i'm trying to do is pull an existing array from a json file using json_decode
, append to that array, then rewrite it to the json file. this is essentially trying to avoid saving everything to one big array and then writing it all at the end of the loop so if I need to cancel the loop, data won't be lost from the parts of the array i've already gone through
my problem is that for some reason it's only writing the most recent element of the array, like doing the write-mode on fopen
is causing file_get_contents
to be overwritten.
