Of course, the subject is sort of tricky… I assume json_encode php function works perfectly.

But there must be something wrong on what I am doing.

I have a variable in my PHP program that actually contains data. Sort of structured data, as it is an object variable with all its attributes set properly.

But, magically, when I apply json_encode to that variable, it just doesn’t "fills" the json object.

See the case below:

  1. As you can see… the variable $test contains data.

enter image description here

  1. Now, putting the focus on the whole json_encoder($test) thing, it just doesn’t fills the "test" {} part of the json object.
    enter image description here

It’s definitely me doing something wrong. But… what?

Thanks a lot in advance.

    json_encode only works with public properties, it cannot take the private or protected attributes of an object and form a JSON representation without any help.

    To serialize an object with all of its properties, you need to manually implement a function to do so. The official PHP documentation has a good example on how to do this here
