Submitted form details into JSON via PHP and sent to server












-1














I've created a few PHP API files that takes submitted form information and compile it as a string and sent the information to a web server via cURL e.g.:



$FirstName = $_GET['firstname'];
$LastName = $_GET['lastname'];
$PhoneNumber = $_GET['phone'];
$EmailAddress = $_GET['email'];

$array = array(
'FirstName' => $FirstName,
'LastName' => $LastName,
'PhoneNumber' => $PhoneNumber,
'EmailAddress' => $EmailAddress
);

.... etc.


I have a client that wants the information to be sent as a JSON file



{
"Client": {
"Firstname" : "####",
"LastName" : "####",
"Contact" : {
"Phonenumber" : "####",
"Emailaddress" : "####"
}
}
}


My questions is:




  1. How do I compile JSON in a PHP file (if possible)?


Can it work like this...?



{
"Client": {
"Firstname" : $FirstName,
"LastName" : $LastName,
"Contact" : {
"Phonenumber" : $PhoneNumber,
"Emailaddress" : $EmailAddress
}
}
}



  1. How do I take the information and sent it to the server in JSON format via PHP?


Any help, or a link to resource will be wonderful.



I've never worked with JSON before so this is quite new to me.

    Copy your $_GET to a new array, add a new Contact entry to this array, passing it an array with Phonenumber & Emailaddress a values, and assign them from your original $_GET, then json_encode($newArray) to return a JSON representation of the array that can be sent to the server.



    $payload = $_GET; //If this only contains the data you want to send to the server, otherwise create new array using required values.
    $payload['Contact'] = ["Phonenumber" => $payload["Phonenumber"], "Emailaddress" => $payload["Emailaddress"]];
    unset($payload["Phonenumber"]);
    unset($payload["Emailaddress"]);
    //Array is converted to JSON below
    $payload = json_encode(["Client" => $payload]);
