creating outer array php - php

Question

UPDATE: a solution has been found stated below: however new issue poses i didnt want to keep creating question so updated this one when i use ajax to pass through to html i get the following error response.forEach is not a function
where the code is as below is this because there are now 2 arrays?
$.get('php/test.php', function(response) {
console.log(response);
var row;
response.forEach(function(item, index) {
console.log(item);
$(`td.${item.beacon}`).css('background-color', item.location).toggleClass('coloured');
});
});
Im Pretty naff when it comes to this type of thing but i need to try get these 2 queries added to 1 ajax I have been told i should add both queries to an outer array but im not sure how to do this and the example i got was $array = $other_array
but im not sure how to write it any help would be greatly appreaciated
$sql = "SELECT beacon,TIME_FORMAT(TIMEDIFF(max(`time`),min(`time`)), '%i.%s')
AS `delivery_avg`
FROM `test`.`test`
where date = CURDATE()
and time > now() - INTERVAL 30 MINUTE
group by beacon ";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
$sql2 = 'SELECT
*
FROM
(SELECT
beacon,location,date,
COUNT(location) AS counter
FROM `test`.`test`
WHERE `date` = CURDATE() and `time` > NOW() - interval 40 second
GROUP BY beacon) AS SubQueryTable
ORDER BY SubQueryTable.counter DESC;';
$result = $conn->query($sql2);
$result = mysqli_query($conn , $sql);
$rows = array();
while($r = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$rows[] = $r;
}
echo json_encode($rows);
$result2 = mysqli_query($conn , $sql2);
$rows2 = array();
while($r = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result2)) {
$rows2[] = $r;
}
echo json_encode($rows2);

Answer 1

You already got most of it right. To get the data in one go, you can combine the arrays (see the line staring with $result) and then send it JSON formatted.
$sql1 = "SELECT ...";
// Query the database
$result1 = $conn->query($sql);
// Fetch the result
$rows1 = $result1->fetch_all(MYSQLI_ASSOC);
// Same for second query
$sql2 = 'SELECT ...';
$result2 = $conn->query($sql2);
$rows2 = $result2->fetch_all(MYSQLI_ASSOC);
$result = array(
'query1' => $rows1,
'query2' => $rows2
);
header("Content-Type: application/json");
echo json_encode($result);
Some more hints:
You only need to run the query once (you have ->query() and mysqli_query() in your code).
You don't need the loop to get all result rows. The function mysqli_fetch_all() does that for you.

Answer 2

When you have your 2 arrays with db results, you can do something like this :
$return = array (
$result,
$result2
);
echo json_encode($return);

Answer 3

$sendResponse = array (
'sql1' => $sqlResult1,
'sql2' => $sqlResult2
);
echo json_encode($sendResponse);

Answer 4

This would be a more suitable and convenient (from JavaScript size) way
$response = [];
$response['result_first_query'] = $rows;
$response['result_second_query'] = $rows2;
echo json_encode($response);
