Question

I am using a library (Solarium for Solr), and the results returned by it is in a format that I am not familiar with. The chunk of code below shows the output of print_r($resultset) on the results $resultset returned by the library’s function.

I would like it to be in a format (maybe array?) where I massage the data further, and convert it into the final format JSON. How can I do that? json_encode($resultset) just gave me an empty JSON string {}.

Data in original format

PHP Code

public function action_search() {

    Solarium_Autoloader::register();
    $client = new Solarium_Client();

    $query = $client
                ->createSelect()
                ->setRows(2);

    $resultset = $client->select($query);

    echo "<pre>";
    print_r($resultset);

    $result = json_encode($resultset);
    echo $result;

Answer 1

Based on the Solarium docs, I’d try something like this:

/*...*/
$resultset = $client->select($query);

$results = array();
foreach($resultset as $document) {
    $item = array();
    foreach($document as $field => $value) {
        $item[$field] = $value;
    }
    $results[] = $item;
}
echo json_encode($results);
