I have a associative array
Array(
[289] => Array(
'name'=> 'One'
),
[292] => Array(
'name'=> 'One'
),
[290] => Array(
'name'=> 'One'
)
)
After i use json_encode on this array. The keys are sorted, although i get it as JSON object.
Is there way to prevent this behaviour?
there is no standard that says it has to be in a certain order.
See this for a related question: How do you stop Chrome and Opera sorting JSON objects by Index ASC?
note: we're talking about a PHP function, but the result is basically javascript, so the statement about the non-existing standard applies as well.
btw: I have tested it with the following code. PHP itself doesnt seem to sort the array, firefox doesn't as well (according to the firebug console).
<pre>
<?php
$array = array();
$array[289] = array('name'=>'One');
$array[292] = array('name'=>'One');
$array[290] = array('name'=>'One');
print_r($array);
$string = json_encode($array);
print_r($string);
?>
</pre>
<script>
var foo = <?=$string?>;
console.log(foo);
</script>
Try this:
$ar = array();
$ar[1] = array('1'=>'one');
$ar[2] = array('2'=>'two');
$ar[3] = array('3'=>'three');
print_r($ar);
$str= json_encode($ar);
print_r($str);
it should work, at-least helps me !
