Got a regular array from a form in php.

Array ( [0] => name0 [1] => name1 [2] => name2 [3] => name3 [4] => name4 [5] => name5 [6] => name6)

It is required to translate it into an associative array and then present the array in json format. An example of a Json file to get:

 { "PC": [ {"name": "name0"}, {"name": "name1"}, ]
  • Are you sure that nothing is mixed up with the array? What form does this array return? - InDevX 3:17 pm
  • json_encode($array) makes an array $ array json-string - InDevX
  • I receive from the form an array of names <input type = "text" name = "name_node []"> - Valery
  • and what's the point to duplicate the key? What is just not an array of names? can you write what you are doing? - InDevX 3:31 pm
  • I enter into the form the number of required points of the graph, the names of the points are generated, I transfer and receive, respectively, an array of names, then a translation into json format is required, where the first PC key points to the array with names, and the second key is Valery

You do the conversion to the desired format using the loop and the json_encode() function, then output to the screen, or write to a file.

 $array = ['name0', 'name1', 'name2', 'name3', 'name4']; foreach ($array as $value) { $new['PC'][]['name'] = $value; } echo json_encode($new); // {"PC":[{"name":"name0"},{"name":"name1"} ... {"name":"name4"}]}

    Thanks for the help! It works as it should! - Valery

Use json_encode :

 $array = Array(0 => 'name0', 1 => 'name1'); $result = json_encode(array('PC' => $array)); print_r($result);
  • Read carefully what format is required at the exit from the author of the question. And compare with yours. - Let's say Pie
  • @ Let'ssayPie agree, hurried 😜 - Smolin Pavel
  • look here for another example, the same loop, only with array_map() - sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/code/… - Let's say Pie
