PHP/HTML multiple message POST issues on a JSON String

Question

Presently my message goes out as the top string. I am wondering if one of the two bottom strings will solve my issue of the data not having different values(val1/val2).

Current Data Delivery:

{ "messagetype": "Transaction", "companyname": "c02", "warehousename": "wh2", "dir": "OUT", "date": "2016-02-23 14:48:57.048", "val1": "3", "val2": "3", "tags": [{"category":"Equipment","number":"P02020","quantity":"1"},{"category":"Equipment","number":"P02135","quantity":"1"},{"category":"Equipment","number":"P02137","quantity":"1"},{"category":"Equipment","number":"P02135","quantity":"1"}]}

Option a:

{ "messagetype": "Transaction", "companyname": "c02", "warehousename": "wh2", "dir": "OUT", "date": "2016-02-23 14:48:57.048", "tags": [{"category":"Equipment","number":"P02020","quantity":"1", "val1": "3", "val2": "3"}] { "messagetype": "Transaction", "companyname": "c02", "warehousename": "wh2", "dir": "OUT", "date": "2016-02-23 14:48:57.048", "tags": [{"category":"Equipment","number":"P02137","quantity":"1", "val1": "2", "val2": "2"}] { "messagetype": "Transaction", "companyname": "c02", "warehousename": "wh2", "dir": "OUT", "date": "2016-02-23 14:48:57.048", "tags": [{"category":"Equipment","number":"P02135","quantity":"1", "val1": "1", "val2": "1"}] { "messagetype": "Transaction", "companyname": "c02", "warehousename": "wh2", "dir": "OUT", "date": "2016-02-23 14:48:57.048", "tags": [{"category":"Equipment","number":"P02135","quantity":"1", "val1": "1", "val2": "1"}]

Option b:

{ "messagetype": "Transaction", "companyname": "c02", "warehousename": "wh2", "dir": "OUT", "date": "2016-02-23 14:48:57.048", "tags": [{"category":"Equipment","number":"P02020","quantity":"1", "val1": "3", "val2": “3”},{ "messagetype": "Transaction", "companyname": "c02", "warehousename": "wh2", "dir": "OUT", "date": "2016-02-23 14:48:57.048", "tags": [{"category":"Equipment","number":"P02137","quantity":"1", "val1": "2", "val2": “2”},{ "messagetype": "Transaction", "companyname": "c02", "warehousename": "wh2", "dir": "OUT", "date": "2016-02-23 14:48:57.048", "tags": [{"category":"Equipment","number":"P02135","quantity":"1", "val1": "1", "val2": “1”},{ "messagetype": "Transaction", "companyname": "c02", "warehousename": "wh2", "dir": "OUT", "date": "2016-02-23 14:48:57.048", "tags": [{"category":"Equipment","number":"P02135","quantity":"1", "val1": "1", "val2": "1"}]

Option c:

{ "messagetype": "Transaction", "companyname": "c02", "warehousename": "wh2", "dir": "OUT", "date": "2016-02-23 14:48:57.048", "val1": "3", "val2": “3”, "tags": [{"category":"Equipment","number":"P02020","quantity":"1",}] { "messagetype": "Transaction", "companyname": "c02", "warehousename": "wh2", "dir": "OUT", "date": "2016-02-23 14:48:57.048", "val1": "2", "val2": "2", "tags": [{"category":"Equipment","number":"P02137","quantity":"1"}] { "messagetype": "Transaction", "companyname": "c02", "warehousename": "wh2", "dir": "OUT", "date": "2016-02-23 14:48:57.048", "val1": "1", "val2": "1", "tags": [{"category":"Equipment","number":"P02135","quantity":"1"}] { "messagetype": "Transaction", "companyname": "c02", "warehousename": "wh2", "dir": "OUT", "date": "2016-02-23 14:48:57.048", "val1": "1", "val2": "1", "tags": [{"category":"Equipment","number":"P02135","quantity":"1"}]

if(isset($_POST['DONE']) === true){
    echo "Submitting";
    $dataString = "val1=" . $_POST['val1'] . ",val2=" . $_POST['val2'];
// set post fields
$post = [
'submit' => 'true',
'activity_name' => 'DataSendOff',
'params'   => [
    'Data' => $dataAsAString
]
];
}

Please don't bother editing the messages above, they are not code but raw data. It is important that it stays the same so people understand how the string goes out. I just want to know if I changed my outgoing message to one of the below options if it would allow multiple val1 and val2 to be attached to each equipment/quantity. — Shea Price

@OliverQueen Yes the string itself is JSON but the form submitting the information is HTML&PHP. I've tried attaching the val1/val2 to the same tag that the Equipment and quantity come through on but it won't send them out that way, or at all. — Shea Price

I guess what I meant to say is, why are you trying to send JSON as a string inside a JSON response? Why not just send it all as response JSON? — Derek Pollard

This was solved by iterating through and appending to the 'Equipment' tag. The API dev's had to fix something on their end as well.
