Question

this is the $distribution array

Array
(
    [ASCM72X36] => Array
        (
            [item_code] => ASCM72X36
            [quantity] => 5
            [selling_price] => 6758.00
        )

    [ASCM72X48] => Array
        (
            [item_code] => ASCM72X48
            [quantity] => 5
            [selling_price] => 
        )

    [ASCM72X60] => Array
        (
            [item_code] => ASCM72X60
            [quantity] => 5
            [selling_price] => 8544.00
        )
)

and this is the $sold array

    Array
    (
        [ASCM72X36] => Array
            (
                [item_code] => ASCM72X36
                [quantity] => 1.0
            )

        [ASCM72X60] => Array
            (
                [item_code] => ASCM72X60
                [quantity] => 1.0
            )
) 

so im comparing keys and building new $responce array with new quantity and filter out quantity 0 products like below

    $i=0;
    foreach($distribution as $key => $new_distribution)
    {
      $newqty = $new_distribution['quantity'] - $sold[$key]['quantity'];
      if( $newqty != 0 && $new_distribution['selling_price'] != ""){
        $responce->data[$i]['item_code'] = $new_distribution['item_code'];
        $responce->data[$i]['quantity'] = $newqty;
        $responce->data[$i]['selling_price'] = $new_distribution['selling_price'];
      }
    $i++;

}

then i need to get json encode out put so im doing it like this

echo json_encode($responce);

im getting out put like

{"data":{"0":{"item_code":"ASCM72X36","quantity":4,"selling_price":"6758.00"},"2":{"item_code":"ASCM72X60","quantity":4,"selling_price":"8544.00"}}}

problem is im getting a “0”, “2” etc.. in json. how to prevent that and get the out put like without those “0” s and “2” etc…?

{"data":{"item_code":"ASCM72X36","quantity":4,"selling_price":"6758.00"},{"item_code":"ASCM72X60","quantity":4,"selling_price":"8544.00"}}

Answer 1

You’re getting indices because you’re skipping values. i.e., your array is associative, not numeric.

Try running

$responce->data = array_values($responce->data)

At the end to reindex it. Better yet, drop the [$i] in your assignments and just do

$responce->data[] = ....

Also, you’re spelling "response" wrong.

If none of that works, take a look at JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK if you’re running PHP 5.3.3 or higher. https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php
