I have table of a survey,answer and user. Answer and survey table is linked by user_id also user and survey is linked with user_id.
I want to show answers and user and comment for a survey. comment is inside survey table.
I want to get the result in this format:

[
],

}
comment:
},
{

}
getAllSurveyByDoctor function:
function getAllSurveyByDoctor($user_id)
{
$database = new SurveyDatabase(SurveyConstants::DBHOST,SurveyConstants::DBUSER,SurveyConstants::DBPASS,SurveyConstants::DBNAME);
$dbConnection = $database->getDB();
$stmt = $dbConnection->prepare("SELECT * from survey where `user_id` = ?");
$stmt->execute(array($user_id));
$survey = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$surveys = array();
$answers = array();
if (count($survey) > 0) {
foreach($survey as $row)
{
$stmt = $dbConnection->prepare("SELECT answer.answer_id, answer.survey_id, answer.question_id, answer.rating, answer.user_id, question.question_id, question.question, question.type FROM `answer` INNER JOIN `question` ON
answer.question_id = question.question_id WHERE answer.user_id = ? and answer.survey_id = ?");
$s_id = $row['survey_id'];
$stmt->execute(array($user_id,$s_id));
$answer = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$stmt = $dbConnection->prepare("SELECT users.user_id,users.email_id,users.pass,users.address,users.name,survey.survey_id,survey.user_id FROM `users` INNER JOIN `survey` ON users.user_id = survey.user_id WHERE users.user_id = ?");
$stmt->execute(array($user_id));
$user = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$comment = $row['comment'];
// $surveys[] = $row;
$answers = $answer;
$surveys[] = $answers;
$surveys[] = $user;
$surveys[] = $comment;
}
$response = array("status" => 1, "message" => "Success", "surveys" => $surveys);
return json_encode($response);
}
else {
$response = array("status"=>-1,"message"=>"surveys list is empty");
return json_encode($response);
}
}
I get the result like this:

Answer 1

You can simply create an associative array for each survey. Inside this associative array, assign your keys and your values. Here's how it looks :
function getAllSurveyByDoctor($user_id)
{
$database = new SurveyDatabase(SurveyConstants::DBHOST,SurveyConstants::DBUSER,SurveyConstants::DBPASS,SurveyConstants::DBNAME);
$dbConnection = $database->getDB();
$stmt = $dbConnection->prepare("SELECT * from survey where `user_id` = ?");
$stmt->execute(array($user_id));
$survey = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$surveys = array();
$answers = array();
if (count($survey) > 0) {
foreach($survey as $row)
{
$stmt = $dbConnection->prepare("SELECT answer.answer_id, answer.survey_id, answer.question_id, answer.rating, answer.user_id, question.question_id, question.question, question.type FROM `answer` INNER JOIN `question` ON
answer.question_id = question.question_id WHERE answer.user_id = ? and answer.survey_id = ?");
$s_id = $row['survey_id'];
$stmt->execute(array($user_id,$s_id));
$answer = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$stmt = $dbConnection->prepare("SELECT users.user_id,users.email_id,users.pass,users.address,users.name,survey.survey_id,survey.user_id FROM `users` INNER JOIN `survey` ON users.user_id = survey.user_id WHERE users.user_id = ?");
$stmt->execute(array($user_id));
$user = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$comment = $row['comment'];
// $surveys[] = $row;
//We create the "survey" associative array
$survey = [];
$answers = $answer;
$survey['answers']= $answers;
$survey['user'] = $user;
$survey['comment']=$comment;
//We add the survey array to the survey
$surveys[] = $survey;
}
$response = array("status" => 1, "message" => "Success", "surveys" => $surveys);
return json_encode($response);
}
else {
$response = array("status"=>-1,"message"=>"surveys list is empty");
return json_encode($response);
}
}
