Try something like this.

error_reporting(-1);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM wp_posts");

$data = array();

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    $data['posts']['post_status'][] = $row['post_status'];
    $data['posts']['post_title'][] = $row['post_title'];
}

$file = 'file.json';
file_put_contents($file, $json_string);
