Multiple records in json and array, and txt reading? - php

Question

im trying to send to my api site, the following Json with one record.
It works Ok, but I want to send more than one record, how can I do that?
Later i want to read a txt and make a json with all the records in it.
<?php
//API URL
$url = 'http://mysitexder.net/receiveJson.php';
//create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init($url);
//setup request to send json via POST
$data = array(
'cod' => '321',
'name' => 'Jane',
'address' => 'Route 123456'
);
$payload = json_encode(array("user" => $data));
//attach encoded JSON string to the POST fields
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $payload);
//set the content type to application/json
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type:application/json'));
//return response instead of outputting
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
//execute the POST request
$result = curl_exec($ch);
//close cURL resource
curl_close($ch);

Answer 1

Send a 2-dimensional array:
$data1 = array(
'cod' => '321',
'name' => 'Jane',
'address' => 'Route 123456'
);
$data2 = array(
'cod' => '555',
'name' => 'John',
'address' => '123 Main St'
);
$payload = json_encode(array('users' => array($data1, $data2)));
Later i want to read a txt and make a json with all the records in it.
It's hard to tell what you mean by this. But you should parse the text in whatever way you want (e.g. each line is a record), create a PHP array from that, and call json_encode().
