Can someone point me in the correct direction? It may be that I need to manually create the key names as an array first, which I was hoping to avoid since the file format coming from the client is still in some flux. <?php

//$data = file("inline_Nov_8_2011.txt"); $data = array('Legal Last Name|Legal Middle Initial|Legal First Name|Maiden/Other Name|Social Insurance No.|Date of Birth|Gender',

        'Andros||Marisa||123456789|2/1/1988|Female');

$json = ''; if(count($data)==2){

    $keys     = explode("|", $data[0]);
    $fields = explode("|", $data[1]);

    $combine = array_combine($keys, $fields);

    $json = json_encode($combine);

} echo $json; ?> That's the code I've just used. And it gave me perfect output: {"Legal Last Name":"Andros","Legal Middle Initial":"","Legal First Name":"Marisa","Maiden\/Other Name":"","Social Insurance No.":"123456789","Date of Birth":"2\/1\/1988","Gender":"Female"} What version of the PHP do you use? -- Best regards, DiRaven
