//print_r($yourArray);
foreach ($yourArray as $value) {
$explodeValue = explode( ',', $value );
$newName []= array($explodeValue[0] => $explodeValue[1]);

Answer 2

Your desired result is an array of arrays. You have to split each entry of your array into 2 entities and push them as an array into a new array, then json_encode() the new array.
This php-snippet only works, if your input is consistantly an array of strings, containing each one comma as separator between name and int-value:
$arr2 = array();
foreach($arr1 as $e) {
list($name, $val) = explode(',', $e);
$arr2[] = array($name, (int)$val);
}
echo json_encode($arr2);

Use below code
$data = array('Samy Jeremiah,55', 'Nelson Owen,93', 'McMaster Ashlie,88', 'Marsh Harlow,97', 'Macfarquhar Aiden,95', 'Lowe Sophie,91');
$res = array();
foreach($data as $e) {
$list = explode(',', $e);
$res[] = array($list[0], $list[1]);
}
echo json_encode(['data'=>$arr2]);
Output
{"data":[
["Samy Jeremiah",55],
["Nelson Owen",93],
["McMaster Ashlie",88],
["Marsh Harlow",97],
["Macfarquhar Aiden",95],
["Lowe Sophie",91]
]
}

Answer 4

Using the json_encode you can achieve what you want.
Suppose your array name is $arr, so now apply the json_encode.
echo json_encode(array('data'=>$arr)); //your json will be print here
Real time Example:
$arr = array('Samy Jeremiah,55', 'Nelson Owen,93', 'McMaster Ashlie,88', 'Marsh Harlow,97', 'Macfarquhar Aiden,95', 'Lowe Sophie,91');
$new_arr = array();
foreach($arr as $k => $val){
$na = explode(",", $val);
$na[0] = "'".$na[0]."'";
$value = implode(",", $na);
$new_arr[$k] = $value;
}
echo json_encode(array("data" => $new_arr));
