Help editing JSON to make an array rather than a 'dictionary'

Question

I currently have json using json_encode from a mysql query which looks like this:

{\"post_2\":{\"caption\":\"...\",\"id\":\"...\",\"accountID\":\"..\",\"date         


        

Answer 1

Provide a non-associative array to json_encode(). The easiest way is usually to simply call array_values() on the (associative) array, and encode the result.

Answer 2

Take a look at PHP's json_decode function, specifically the 2nd parameter if you want an array.
