PHP has associative arrays, meanwhile JS has 2 different data structures : object and arrays.

The JSON you want to obtain is not legal and should be :

{
"status":400,
"errorMsg":"Bad Request",
"errorReport": {
        "taskfield" : "Task cannot be blank",
        "taskdatefield" : "Task date needs to be within the month"
    }
}

So you may want to do something like this to build your collection :

$errorCollection = array();
foreach($errors as $error){
     $errorCollection[$error->getId()] = $error->getMessage();
}

(assuming the getId() method exist on $error objects)
