Question

I have the following PHP code:

$data=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM notes WHERE rootNoteId='$noteId'");
$mainArray;
while($result = mysql_fetch_array($data))
{
    $mainArray[]=$result;
}

$sendback = array(
     "mainArray" => $mainArray
);
sendResponse(200, json_encode($sendback));

My table ‘notes’ has the following fields:

'noteId'
'authorName'
'noteBody'

However my return JSON string has the following format:

{
    "0": "3",
    "1": "Moe Bit",
    "2": "Sub sub ",
    "noteId": "3",
    "authorName": "Moe Bit",
    "noteBody": "Sub sub "
}

Why is it adding 0,1,2 indexes for the array with duplicate values of my table fields? I just want noteId, authorName, and noteBody-I’m not sure where it’s coming up with "0","1","2".

Answer 1

try either mysql_fetch_assoc or mysql_fetch_object
