Question

How can I get this format:

{
"products": [
    {
        "id":            4,
        "link":          "/product.php?id_product=4",
        "quantity":      1,
        "priceByLine":   "$185.00",
        "name":          "Orci hendrer...",
        "price":         "$185.00",
        "idCombination": 0,
        "hasAttributes": false,
        "hasCustomizedDatas": false,

        "customizedDatas":[
                ]


    },  {
        "id":            5,
        "link":          "/product.php?id_product=5",
        "quantity":      1,
        "priceByLine":   "$215.00",
        "name":          "Semper rutru...",
        "price":         "$215.00",
        "idCombination": 0,
        "hasAttributes": false,
        "hasCustomizedDatas": false,

        "customizedDatas":[
                ]


    }],

}

as a PHP array? I’ve tried

$array[] = array('id'=>5, link => 'product.php?id_product=5' ... and so on)

but when I encode with JSON it doesn’t work.

Answer 1

You just have to nest your arrays in the proper way like the following example.

$arr = array( 'products' => array(
  array('id'=>4, link => 'product.php?id_product=4' ),
  array('id'=>5, link => 'product.php?id_product=5' )
  )
);

EDIT

In your code it would look like this to init the object:

$arr = array( 'products' => array() );

And each subsequent product could be added like this (e.g., in a loop where you parse your database result):

$arr['products'][] = array('id'=>5, link => 'product.php?id_product=5' );
