POCreate json with same name elements?
text
Body
copied!<p>We offer an API for our website with both XML and JSON as returned formats. Both are coming from a PHP Array. My JSON return is what's causing me problems. How do I have same name elements returned instead of [0], <a href="https://developer.musixmatch.com/documentation/api-reference/artist-albums-get" rel="nofollow">1</a>, etc? Right now, my returned looks like:</p> <pre><code>{ "rate": { "rate_span": "1 Minute", "rate_limit": "60", "rate_remaining": 59, "rate_user": "60" }, "status": { "status_code": 200, "status_message": "Request was successful." }, "favorites": { "0": { "favorite": { "lyric_id": "570" } }, "1": { "favorite": { "lyric_id": "3530822107858532003" } }, "2": { "favorite": { "lyric_id": "3530822107858535795" } }, "favorites_type": "lyrics", "favorites_total": 3 } } </code></pre> <p>I'd rather each favorite be wrapped in it's own "favorite" { ... element and bypass each array being wrapped in [0], <a href="https://developer.musixmatch.com/documentation/api-reference/artist-albums-get" rel="nofollow">1</a>, [x+1].... Much like this JSON response: <a href="https://developer.musixmatch.com/documentation/api-reference/artist-albums-get" rel="nofollow">ARTIST.ALBUMS.GET JSON</a> </p> <p>This is the PHP array building the favorites part...</p> <pre><code>$json["favorites"] = array(); $json["favorites"]["favorites_type"] = "lyrics"; $json["favorites"]["favorites_total"] = $userFavorites->recordCount(); foreach($userFavorites as $key => $fav) { $song_id = $fav["lyric_id"]; $json["favorites"][]["favorite"]["lyric_id"] = $song_id; } </code></pre>
