Question

private function jsonArray($object)
{
  $json = array();

   if(isset($object) && !empty($object))
   {
      foreach($object as $obj)
      {
        $json[]["name"] = $obj;
      }
   }

   return $json;
}

We are grabbing an object, and if the conditional is met, we iterate over that object.
Then… I’m lost on this reading… :s

What’s the meaning of the [] here?

$json[]["name"] = $obj;

Thanks in advance,

$json[] adds an element at the end of the array (numeric index). It’s the same as having the following code:

$array=array();
$i=0;
foreach($something as $somethingElse)
{
    $array[]=$somethingElse;
    //is equivalent, in some way, to
    $array[$i++]=$somethingElse;
}
