I want the following JSON:
{"success": false,"errors": {"err1": "some error","err2": "another error"}}
The code I am using:
$rs = array("success"=>true);
$rs['errors'][] = array("err1"=>"some error");
$rs['errors'][] = array("err2"=>"another error");
json_encode($rs);
produces the following:
{"success":false,"errors":[{"err1":"some error"},{"err2":"another error"}]}
errors should be an associative array.
$rs = array('success' => false, 'errors' => array());
$rs['errors']['err1'] = 'some error';
$rs['errors']['err2'] = 'another error';
echo json_encode($rs);
$rs['errors'] as an associative array (or even as part of $rs at all). PHP will automatically add the index to the array if it doesn't exist when $rs['errors']['err1'] = 'some error'; is executed.errors contains a single object, not multiple objects in a numeric array. This should work:
$a = array(
"success" => false,
"errors" => array(
"err1" => "some error",
"err2" => "another error"
)
);
json_encode($a);
The JSON string you are trying to create does not have any arrays in it. It has nested objects. You would need to create an object in order to replicate that JSON string like this:
$root_obj = new StdClass();
$root_obj->success = false;
$root_obj->errors = new StdClass();
$root_obj->errors->err1 = 'some error';
$root_obj->errors->err2 = 'another error';
