This is what the result i need to come out with
"data": [
{
"ticket_category_id": "677",
"ticket_category_name": " Testing 500",
"ticket_category_order": "1",
"tickets":
[
{
"ticket_id": "927",
"ticket_title": "EDI Project Template with attachments",
"ticket_order": "1",
"due_date": "0000-00-00 00:00:00",
"created_date": "2018-05-16 10:01:04",
"edited_date": "2018-05-17 02:56:38",
"updated_date": "2018-05-17 02:56:38",
"is_complete": "0",
"total_comment": "0",
"total_attachment": "10",
"total_checklist_items": "48",
"total_completed_checklist_items": "0",
"label": [
{
"ticket_label_name": "",
"ticket_color_code": "#FF3B30"
},
"#D4891C": {
"ticket_label_name": "IN PROGRESS",
"ticket_color_code": "#D4891C"
}]
},
"people": []
},
{
"ticket_id": "928",
"ticket_title": "EDI Project Template",
"ticket_order": "2",
"due_date": "0000-00-00 00:00:00",
"created_date": "2018-05-16 10:01:04",
"edited_date": "0000-00-00 00:00:00",

And below is the code I have done, I using php mysql one to many relationship get all the data to be flat array, and then below code is convert single flat array into three multidimension array, but i meet a bottleneck. Please help to review my code to point out which part I need to change to become my expected result.
$result = array();
foreach($total_count as $Key => $Value){
$ticketCatId = $Value['ticket_category_id'];
$ticketId = $Value['ticket_id'];
$ticketColorCode = $Value['ticket_color_code'];
$ticketMember = $Value['user_id'];
$result[$ticketCatId]['ticket_category_id'] = $Value['ticket_category_id'];
$result[$ticketCatId]['ticket_category_name'] = $Value['ticket_category_name'];
$result[$ticketCatId]['ticket_category_order'] = $Value['ticket_category_order'];
if(!isset($result[$ticketCatId]['tickets'])) {
$result[$ticketCatId]['tickets'] = array();
}
// this code is append the ticket ID
if($ticketId && !isset($result[$ticketCatId]['tickets'][$ticketId])) {
$ticket = array(
'ticket_id' => $Value['ticket_id'],
'ticket_title' => $Value['ticket_title'],
'ticket_order' => $Value['ticket_order'],
'due_date' => $Value['due_date'],
'created_date' => $Value['created_date'],
'edited_date' => $Value['edited_date'],
'updated_date' => $Value['updated_date'],
'is_complete' => $Value['is_complete'],
'total_comment' => $Value['total_comment'],
'total_attachment' => $Value['total_attachment'],
'total_checklist_items' => $Value['total_checklist_items'],
'total_completed_checklist_items' => $Value['total_completed_checklist_items'],
'label' => array(),
'people' => array()
);
$result[$ticketCatId]['tickets'][$ticketId] = $ticket;
}
if($ticketColorCode && isset($result[$ticketCatId]['tickets'][$ticketId]) && !isset($result[$ticketCatId]['tickets'][$ticketId]['label'][$ticketColorCode])) {
$ticketColor = array(
'ticket_label_name' => $Value['ticket_label_name'],
'ticket_color_code' => $Value['ticket_color_code']
);
$result[$ticketCatId]['tickets'][$ticketId]['label'][$ticketColorCode] = $ticketColor;
}
if($ticketMember && isset($result[$ticketCatId]['tickets'][$ticketId]) && !isset($result[$ticketCatId]['tickets'][$ticketId]['people'][$ticketMember])) {
$ticketPeople = array(
'user_id' => $Value['user_id'],
'photo' => $Value['photo']
);
$result[$ticketCatId]['tickets'][$ticketId]['people'][$ticketMember] = $ticketPeople;
}
}
dd(json_encode(["data"=>$result]));

I don't have any sample data to work with, so I can't actually test this for you. The general idea though is that each time through the loop, you initialize a temporary array ($tmpArray = array();) and put all the loop-specific values into that array. Then, at the end of each loop iteration, you push that temporary array onto your $results array ($result[] = $tmpArray;), allowing PHP to automatically create sequential indexes for $results. The reason why you are getting nested JSON objects currently is because json_encode() will only produce JSON arrays from sequentially-index PHP arrays
$result = array();
foreach($total_count as $Key => $Value){
$ticketCatId = $Value['ticket_category_id'];
$ticketId = $Value['ticket_id'];
$ticketColorCode = $Value['ticket_color_code'];
$ticketMember = $Value['user_id'];
$tmpArray = array();
$tmpArray['ticket_category_id'] = $Value['ticket_category_id'];
$tmpArray['ticket_category_name'] = $Value['ticket_category_name'];
$tmpArray['ticket_category_order'] = $Value['ticket_category_order'];
if(!isset($tmpArray['tickets'])) {
$tmpArray['tickets'] = array();
}
// this code is append the ticket ID
if($ticketId && !isset($tmpArray['tickets'][$ticketId])) {
$ticket = array(
'ticket_id' => $Value['ticket_id'],
'ticket_title' => $Value['ticket_title'],
'ticket_order' => $Value['ticket_order'],
'due_date' => $Value['due_date'],
'created_date' => $Value['created_date'],
'edited_date' => $Value['edited_date'],
'updated_date' => $Value['updated_date'],
'is_complete' => $Value['is_complete'],
'total_comment' => $Value['total_comment'],

'total_checklist_items' => $Value['total_checklist_items'],
'total_completed_checklist_items' => $Value['total_completed_checklist_items'],

$tmpArray['tickets'][$ticketId] = $ticket;
}
if($ticketColorCode && isset($tmpArray['tickets'][$ticketId]) && !isset($tmpArray['tickets'][$ticketId]['label'][$ticketColorCode])) {
$ticketColor = array(
'ticket_label_name' => $Value['ticket_label_name'],
'ticket_color_code' => $Value['ticket_color_code']

$tmpArray['tickets'][$ticketId]['label'][$ticketColorCode] = $ticketColor;
