using php on couch: php-on-couch

I’m trying to pass in a startkey and endkey, this works:

$client->startkey( array( $val1, $val2) ) ); 
$client->endkey( array( $val1 , $val2) ) );

however this does not work:

$client->startkey( array( $val1) ) ); 
$client->endkey( array( $val1 , '{}') ) );

I think PHP is having trouble with the empty object. Any ideas?

    Is it possible that the string '{}' is not sent as an object, but instead as a string? You want to send (formatted for clarity)

    startkey=%5B%22val1%22%5D        // decodes to: ["val1"]
endkey=%5B%22val1%22%2C%7B%7D%5D // decodes to: ["val1",{}]

    But maybe PHP on Couch is requesting

    startkey=%5B%22val1%22%5D              // decodes to: ["val1"]
endkey=%5B%22val1%22%2C%22%7B%7D%22%5D // decodes to: ["val1","{}"]

    If that is the case (and I am guessing a bit), what about using an array (object) as the second element?

    $client->startkey( array( $val1) ) ); 
$client->endkey( array( $val1 , array() ) ) );

    Does that work?
