How to pass json object using PHP in Wepay API - php

Question

I have integrated the Wepay payment gateway. But I have facing a problem to pass json object to wepay. It always shows a incorrect json format. Please look at the below code.
$forca_a = array(
'debit_opt_in'=>true
);
$forca = json_encode($forca_a,JSON_FORCE_OBJECT);
$wepay_create_array = array(
'name' =>"xxxx",
'description' => "xxxxxxxxx xxxx",
'callback_uri' => "xxxxxxx",
'country' => "CA",
'currencies' => array('CAD'),
'country_options' => $forca,
'rbits'=> array(
array(
'receive_time'=>strtotime("now"),
'type' =>'website_uri',
'source' => 'partner_database',
'properties'=> array('uri'=>xxxxx)
)
)
);
If I won't pass the country_options, its seems to working but If I pass this parameter, it always give me an error says "Incorrect JSON format".
I sent an email to wepay help center. They told me that, you are passing the string "country_options":"{"debit_opt_in":true}" <--- this is a string Instead of "country_options":{"debit_opt_in":true} <--- this is a JSON object. So I'm confused. I have no idea how do I pass the JSON object. There is only way and is json_encode($object).

hey use below code to get proper json
<?php
$forca_a = array(
'debit_opt_in'=>true
);
// $forca = json_encode($forca_a);
$wepay_create_array = array(
'name' =>"xxxx",
'description' => "xxxxxxxxx xxxx",
'callback_uri' => "xxxxxxx",
'country' => "CA",
'currencies' => array('CAD'),
'country_options' => $forca_a,
'rbits'=> array(
array(
'receive_time'=>strtotime("now"),
'type' =>'website_uri',
'source' => 'partner_database',
'properties'=> array('uri'=>'xxxxx')
)
)
);
print_r(json_encode($wepay_create_array));
?>
this code will give following json output
{
"name": "xxxx",
"description": "xxxxxxxxx xxxx",
"callback_uri": "xxxxxxx",
"country": "CA",
"currencies": ["CAD"],
"country_options": {
"debit_opt_in": true
},
"rbits": [{
"receive_time": 1461561030,
"type": "website_uri",
"source": "partner_database",
"properties": {
"uri": "xxxxx"
}
}]
}

You have no need to make:
$forca = json_encode($forca_a,JSON_FORCE_OBJECT);
before you put it to $wepay_create_array.
Before sending request, i think, you make json_encode($wepay_create_array), and yes, after that you will have 'string' for country_options key.
