Here's my problem, i have a php array like this:
$output = array(array(1,1,1,1),array(2,2,2,2),array(3,3,3,3));
after the array was encoded to json i got this:
$output = {"1":[1,1,1,1],"2":[2,2,2,2],"3":[3,3,3,3]}
all i want is to pass the PHP array to Javascript so that the JS looks like this:
var output = [[1,1,1,1],[2,2,2,2],[3,3,3,3,]];
Thanks in advance...
Which version of PHP are you using ?
With PHP 5.2.10, I get what you're asking for :
$output = array(array(1,1,1,1),array(2,2,2,2),array(3,3,3,3));
$json = json_encode($output);
echo $json . "\n";
Outputs :
$ php temp.php
[[1,1,1,1],[2,2,2,2],[3,3,3,3]]
At least, this is without the JSON_FORCE_OBJECT option -- that was added in PHP 5.3
Maybe you can find something interesting in the user notes on the json_encode manual page ?
For instance, simoncpu says :
A note of caution: If you are wondering why json_encode() encodes your PHP array as a JSON object instead of a JSON array, you might want to double check your array keys because json_encode() assumes that you array is an object if your keys are not sequential.
And if you search for json_encode+array+object on PHP's bugtracker, maybe you'll get some interesting result ?
(For instance, something that says this was a bug, which has been corrected in recent versions of PHP ?)
