I want to make an array of json objects having the structure as follows:
{
"client-mac": "0C:D2:B5:68:73:24",
"client-dbm": "-82",
"clientManuf": "unknown"
}
I am using following php code to get this result:
$clientMac = $clients->{'client-mac'};
$clientStrength = $clients->{'snr-info'}->{'last_signal_dbm'};
$clientManuf = $clients->{'client-manuf'};
$jsonObject = array('client-mac' => $clientMac,
'client-dbm' => $clientStrength,
'clientManuf' => $clientManuf);
$jsonString = json_encode($jsonObject);
The problem is I am getting following json string:
{"client-mac":{
"0":"0C:D2:B5:68:73:24"
},
"client-dbm":{
"0":"-82"
},
"clientManuf":{"0":"Unknown"}
}
Why I am getting those extra keys as "0"? And how can I get my desired output? Thank you in advance :)

Apparently your source data has one more nested level with one key/value pair.
You could use reset on them to just pick the first value from that:
array('client-mac' => reset($clientMac),
'client-dbm' => reset($clientStrength),
'clientManuf' => reset($clientManuf));

That's because $clientMac, $clientStrength and $clientManuf are objects, not literal strings. You have to change the first three lines in the following way,
$clientMac = $clients->{'client-mac'}->{'0'};
$clientStrength = $clients->{'snr-info'}->{'last_signal_dbm'}->{'0'};
$clientManuf = $clients->{'client-manuf'}->{'0'};
