PHP Indexed Array to Associative JSON

Question

I have the following PHP array:

array("Apple", "Pear", "Grape", "Orange")

And I'd like to get JSON output like the following:

[[{"fruit":"Apple"}],[{"fruit":"Pear"}],[{"fruit":"Grape"}],[{"fruit":"Orange"}]]

JSON confuses me :(

EDIT Sorry, those last two in the output should have been fruit, I corrected it, sorry guys.

Answer 1

If you want your JSON output to look like that, you should change your PHP value to look like this:

array(array(array('fruit' => 'Apple')), array(array('fruit' => 'Pear')), array(array('fruit' => 'Grape')), array(array('fruit' => 'Orange')))

and then pass that array to json_encode()
