encode json using php?

Question

I want to get json with php encode function like the following

Answer 1

Do the json_encoding as the LAST step. Build your data structure purely in PHP, then encode that structure at the end. Doing intermediate encodings means you're basically building your own json string, which is always going to be tricky and most likely "broken".

$data = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
   $data[] = array('id'=>$i, 'name' => $row['name']);
}
echo json_encode($data);
