note 127741 added to function.json-encode

Notice that JSON_FORCE_OBJECT will convert all non-associative arrays to objects. This is not necessarily a good solution for empty arrays. If you want to convert only empty arrays to objects, simply convert them to empty object before use json_encode function. For example: <?php $foo=array( 'empty2object'=>(object)[], 'empty2array'=>[], ); echo json_encode($foo); // {"empty2object":{},"empty2array":[]} ?> ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 45.91.159.161 (proxied: 77.205.142.92) ---- Manual Page -- https://php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php Edit -- https://main.php.net/note/edit/127741 Del: integrated -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127741/integrated Del: useless -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127741/useless Del: bad code -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127741/bad+code Del: spam -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127741/spam Del: non-english -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127741/non-english Del: in docs -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127741/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127741 Reject -- https://main.php.net/note/reject/127741 Search -- https://main.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
