How to parse json array from mysql? - php

Question

I have this data but I can't parse it in the way I want. this is what I get:
{
"navigations": {
"title": "Facebook",
"link": "https://facebook.com",
"behavior": "EXTERNAL"
}
}
And what I expect to see:
{
"navigations": [
{
"title": "Facebook",
"url": "https://facebook.com",
"behavior": "INAPP"
},
{
"title": "Youtube",
"url": "https//youtube.com",
"behavior": "INAPP"
}
]
}
I have more results in my database but not more than 12 result so, i want to fetch data in the format i expect. I tried to do it using fetch_array but no success.
This is my PHP code:
$query_update_navigations = $db->prepare("SELECT title, link, behavior FROM navigation_tabs WHERE secret_api_key=?");
$query_update_navigations->bind_param("s", $_SESSION['secret_api_key']);
$query_update_navigations->execute();
$rows = array();
$result = $query_update_navigations->get_result();
while($rows1 = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$rows['navigations'] = $rows1;
}
$store_path = '../apis/navigation_tabs/';
$file_name = $_SESSION['secret_api_key'] . '.json';
$sign_constants = json_encode($rows);
file_put_contents($store_path . $file_name, $sign_constants);
I searched for an answer but nothing solved my issue :(

You need to push the row onto the array, not overwrite it each time.
$rows = array('navigations' => []);
$result = $query_update_navigations->get_result();
while($rows1 = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$rows['navigations'][] = $rows1;
}
