json encode is not working with array of objects

Question

I want to convert array of objects to json encoding, I make like this

$allVisits = $mapper->getAllVisits($year, $month);
echo json_encode($allVisits);
         


        

Answer 1

For those who are looking for simple answer, unlike other complicated answers my is piece of art:

json_encode(array(
    Protocol::PARAM_CODE => Protocol::CODE_SUCCESS,
    Protocol::PARAM_USER => (object)$user->jsonSerialize()
));

Even when $user->jsonSerialize() outputs stdObject, json_encode is so dumb, it has no idea it is object so you have to state that explicitly with casting it to (object) - don't you love PHP for it's simplicity?
