PHP Arrays to JSON data

Question

I have arrays that looks like this:

Array ( [multi_YTnsPrfuB832.jpg] => gray [multi_hUORaTux1bI.jpg] => episode [multi_Ijtxz4U0iaq_.jpg] => fidgetq [multi_m0QWCyfVjDKh.jpg] => fidget2 )

the data inside the bracket is a URL and the value is the name. I want to encode this to be a json data to be something like this:

{ "offers":
 {
 "url":multi_YTnsPrfuB832.jpg,
 "name":"gray"
 },
 {
 "url":multi_hUORaTux1bI.jpg,
 "name":"episode"
 },
 {
 "url":multi_Ijtxz4U0iaq_.jpg,
 "name":"fidgetq"
 },
 {
 "url":multi_m0QWCyfVjDKh.jpg,
 "name":"fidget2"
 }
}

I'm fairly new to json so if someone has an idea how to implement this using php. Thanks!

Answer 1

To reformat your array all you need to do is iterate it and push to a new array in the format you are looking for. The json_encode function will turn an array into a JSON formatted string.

$array = /*your array*/;
$offers = [];
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
 $offers[] = ['url' => $key, 'name' => $value,];
}
$json = json_encode(['offers' => $offers,]);
echo $json;
