use array table in PHP to JSON

Question

I want to send an array table from PHP to JSON. my array table is simple:

[0] => 10

[1] => 20

I want to see it in Json as

{ "values":["10","20"] }

In PHP, I tried

  $values=array("10","20");
  echo(
         '{
            "values": '.$values.',
            "text": "abcdef"
         }'
  );

But it displays: { "values":Array] }

Do you know how I can do this ? (Values in my arrays are not always with a size of 2, it can evolve depending, so I don't want to use values[0] and values[1].

you really don't need to write json string by hand you know, there's json_encode for that — Kevin

Create an array, and encode it using json_encode. There are plenty of examples here and on the php main site. — YvesLeBorg

json_encode - Returns the JSON representation of a value

$arr = [10,20];
$newArray = [
     'values' => $arr,
     'text'   => 'abcd'
];
echo $json = json_encode($newArray);

Just echo the json_encode function directly there's no need to initiate a new variable

What is the advantage of that?

Where are you going to use the $json variable? nothing right?

This is for the explanation purpose only, it's on OP to use direct or with variable, may be in the middle of the code he needs same value
