Function mod_scorm_insert_scorm_tracks "Invalid parameter" - php

Question

I have problem with a WebService function for moodle callen "mod_scorm_insert_scorm_tracks"
This function is used for inserting track information (i.e. star time) of a user in his SCORM progress.
Part of the estructure of this function is
scoid= int
attempt= int
tracks[0][element]= string
tracks[0][value]= string
NEW
PHP structe has to look like this
[tracks] =>
Array
(
[0] =>
Array
(
[element] => string
[value] => string
)
)
I have used one of the examples they had in his website everything was fine until I got this error
<b>Notice</b>: Array to string conversion in <b>C:\xampp\htdocs\otros\PHP-REST\curl.php</b> on line <b>247</b><br />
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EXCEPTION class="invalid_parameter_exception">
<ERRORCODE>invalidparameter</ERRORCODE>
<MESSAGE>Invalid parameter value detected</MESSAGE>
<DEBUGINFO>tracks => Invalid parameter value detected: Only arrays accepted. The bad value is: 'Array'</DEBUGINFO>
</EXCEPTION>
And the problem seems to be here:
$item1 = new stdClass();
$item1->scoid = '2';
$item1->attempt = '1';
$item1->tracks = array(
array(
array(
'element' => 'x.start.time',
'value' => '1473102672'
),
),
array(
array(
'element' => 'x.start.time',
'value' => '1473102680'
),
),
);
I tried in many ways
$item1 = new stdClass();
$item1->scoid = '2';
$item1->attempt = '1';
$item1->tracks = array('element' => 'x.start.time','value' => '1473102672');
or
$item1 = new stdClass();
$item1->scoid = '2';
$item1->attempt = '1';
$item1->tracks = array(array ('element' => 'x.start.time','value' => '1473102672'));
And still getting the same message, I'm pretty that is problema with my wyntax but I have tried in many ways and still not working I hope yo can help me.

Answer 1

Well after some research I finally took plan B
I wrote tracks in a different variable:
$tracks = array();
$tracks[] = array(
'element' => 'cmi.core.lesson_status',
'value' => 'completed'
);
And I followed curl.php array set option:
$arrayName = array('' => , );
Then when I inserted scoid and attemps as single variables in the array:
$params = array('scoid' => '2', 'attempt' => '1', 'tracks' => $tracks);
and boala!the record is on my table:
