    <p>Okay I'm attempting to use php to encode a json file I'm subsequently using to draw a map with the Polymaps service.</p> <p>I'm having trouble when encoding my json from the Instagram API -- I'm able to do it, but I need the structure to be nested in this certain way. My code I have now encodes it in this format: </p> <pre><code>[ { "title":"some value", "src":"some value", "lat":"some value", "lon":"some value" }, ... </code></pre> <p>So on and so forth. I need the format to match something more like this: </p> <pre><code>{ "type":"FeatureCollection", "features":[ { "type":"Feature", "geometry":{ "coordinates":[ -94.34885, 39.35757 ], "type":"Point" }, "properties":{ "latitude":39.35757, "title":"Kearney", "id":919, "description":"I REALLY need new #converse, lol. I've had these for three years. So #destroyed ! :( Oh well. Can't wait to get a new pair and put my #rainbow laces through. #gay #gaypride #bi #proud #pride #colors #shoes #allstar #supporting ", "longitude":-94.34885, "user":"trena1echo5", "image":"http://images.instagram.com/media/2011/09/09/ddeb9bb508c94f2b8ff848a2d2cd3ece_7.jpg", "instagram_id":211443415 } }, { "type":"Feature", "geometry":{ "coordinates":[ -0.09402781, 51.51512 ], "type":"Point" }, "properties":{ "latitude":51.51512, "title":"City Of London", "id":918, "description":"#destroyed", "longitude":-0.09402781, "user":"axxoul", "image":"http://distillery.s3.amazonaws.com/media/2011/09/09/ffda47fb97924a41bc36b0b024fcdfad_7.jpg", "instagram_id":211074717 } }, </code></pre> <p>...with its nested structure. I have the jquery working to read from the json file and the php script written to make the json...this is the last puzzle piece for me. </p>

    1. CO`"attempting to use php to encode a json file"` - have you tried using [`json_encode()`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php)?

    2. COIs it not possible to decode it into a php array, manipulate it into the format you need and then encode it back?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
