Question

$result = mysql_query($query);
$leaderboard = array();

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $leaderboard[$row["username"]] = $row["score"];
}

$output = array
(
    'status' => 1,
    'content' =>$leaderboard
);

print_r(json_encode($output));

right now the $output array is such JSON:

{"tim":"120","john":"45","larry":"56"}

but I want to have them as key-value pair so instead I want to be like:

{"name":"tim","score":120","name":"john","score="45", etc.}

and if I need that way, how do I modify the $leaderboard array so the output would be like that?

Answer 1

$leaderboard[] = Array('name' => $row["username"], 'score' => $row["score"]);
