I have a jQuery post that returns some objects.
So, I have a DB query result that I do json_encode($result) and then I send it as a response in the success function inside the jQuery post.
If I console.log the response I see multiple objects. What I want is to send the response as an array of arrays.
In PHP
json_encode($results)
In javascript:
success: function(json) {
console.log(json);
}
In console log:
[>Object , >Object , >Object]
Any ideas?
Your $results in php is an array of objects or of associative arrays. Make it an array of numerically-indexed arrays before you send with casting:
// ASSUMING each $result object does not have its own nested arrays
foreach ($results as &$result) {
$result = array_values((array) $result);
}
Note you will lose the ability to get items by column name.
But please step back and think about where your $result comes from.
If you are using mysql driver, consider doing this when building your result:
$results = array();
// Note we use MYSQL_NUM option, so $row looks like array('col1value', 'col2value')
while (FALSE !== ($row = mysql_result_array($resource, MYSQL_NUM))) {
$results[] = $row;
}
json_encode($results);
In php, casting:
$aArray = (array) $oObject;
json encode will encode a string as a json OBJECT which in javascript is an object. in javascript an array is simply an object with special helper functions. there shouldn't be a need to create an array from the object as you can manipulate an object as easily as you can manipulate an array.
