Question

Say I have a database which has the following layout:

Fields:  |Business_Name| |Business_ID|

Data  :  |business_1A  | |ABC_1      |

I want to query the database and retrieve the business name and business ID at the same time and then encode this result to JSON for further usage.
How do I go about doing this?

Here’s some code as requested:

$sql = "SELECT Business_Name,Business_ID FROM biz_table";

$businessArray = array();
$bizResult = mysql_query($sql);

        while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($bizResult)) {
            $businessArray[][] = $row['Business_Name']$row['Business_ID'];
            }
            $result = json_encode($businessArray);
            echo $result;

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Based on your question – your question was “how do i do that?” without really giving an example of the output you want :

$sql = "SELECT Business_Name,Business_ID FROM biz_table";

$businessArray = array();
$bizResult = mysql_query($sql);

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($bizResult)) {
    $businessArray[$row['Business_Name']] = $row['Business_ID'];
}
$result = json_encode($businessArray);
echo $result;

$result will be

{"business_1A" : "ABC_1" }

Is that what you want ?
