How to convert an array in PHP into a valid JSON request and send it to web service URL in following scenario?

Question

I've got following array titled $val in PHP :

Array
(
    [page_id] => 208
    [invite_emails] => 
    [invite] => Array
        (
            [0] => 970
            [1] => 991
            [2] => 992
        )

)

I only want to convert the above array into a valid JSON request and send it to some web service URL.

How should I do it? Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Your question is rather broad, but to convert a php array into a JSON object is very easy.

$jsonString = json_encode($array);

As for sending it to the URL, this question contains some good info.

Or if you want to use curl, this resource is pretty good.

But how could I get as an argument in my WS? Suppose following is the request pattern $application->get('/sendInvitation(/:val)','authorization', function() val must be the array in JSON format.

As others have posted, use the following to json encode your array:

json_encode($val);

Now, your problem is sending this to your web service via parameter. The way I generally send complex parameters via GET parameters is by base64 encoding.

$param = base64_encode(json_encode($val));

Now you can send $param just like any other parameter. Take a look at Guzzle for making HTTP requests from PHP.

@PHPLover Second the Guzzle recommend. Dont mess about with cURL or similar your life will be immeasurably improved by using a decent client library and I think Guzzle is the best
