How do I correct duplicated json array in php - php

Question

I have the following code that reads data from a mysql database. Unfortunately I dont seem to find a way of removing this "status": {
Here is the code snippet
// required headers
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");
header("Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8");
// database connection will be here
// include database and object files
include_once '../config/database.php';
include_once '../objects/status.php';
// instantiate database and status object
$database = new Database();
$db = $database->getConnection();
// initialize object
$status = new Status($db);
// query status
$stmt = $status->read();
$num = $stmt->rowCount();
// check if more than 0 record found
if($num>0){
// status array
$status_arr=array();
$status_arr["status"]=array();
// retrieve our table contents
// fetch() is faster than fetchAll()
// http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2770630/pdofetchall-vs-pdofetch-in-a-loop
while ($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)){
// extract row
// this will make $row['name'] to
// just $name only
extract($row);
$status_item = array(
"id" => $status_id,
"name" => html_entity_decode($status_name),
"created" => $status_created,
"modified" => $status_modified,
"state" => $status_state
);
array_push($status_arr["status"], $status_item);
}
// set response code - 200 OK
http_response_code(200);
// show status data in json format
echo json_encode(
array("response_code" => 0, "response_message" => "Request processed successfully", "status" => $status_arr)
);
}
else{
// set response code - 404 Not found
http_response_code(404);
// tell the user no status found
echo json_encode(
array("response_code" => 1, "response_message" => "No status found.")
);
Which outputs this:
{
"response_code": 0,
"response_message": "Request processed successfully",
"status": {
"status": [
{
"id": "2",
"name": "Inactive",
"created": "2020-08-24 17:43:52",
"modified": "2020-08-24 13:43:52",
"state": "Active"
},
{
"id": "1",
"name": "Active",
"created": "2020-08-24 12:44:49",
"modified": "2020-08-24 05:44:49",
"state": "Active"
}
]
}
}
The desired output is:
{
"response_code": 0,
"response_message": "Request processed successfully",
"status": [
{
"id": "2",
"name": "Inactive",
"created": "2020-08-24 17:43:52",
"modified": "2020-08-24 13:43:52",
"state": "Active"
},
{
"id": "1",
"name": "Active",
"created": "2020-08-24 12:44:49",
"modified": "2020-08-24 05:44:49",
"state": "Active"
}
]
}
Note that in the desired output should not have "status": {} but should only have "status": []. What modification should i do to the above provided code?

Answer 1

echo json_encode(
array(
"response_code" => 0,
"response_message" => "Request processed successfully",
"status" => $status_arr["status"]
)
);
