Using json encode - php

Question

I am trying to use json encode for the first time and need some insight to what I am doing wrong.
It should look like this:
{ teams : [ ["2147483647", "9"],["2147483647", "6"],["2147483647", "4"],["11", "2147483647"],["5", "2147483647"],["12", "8"],["10", "3"],["2147483647", "7"], ], results : [ [ [[0, 1],[0, 1],[0, 1],[1, 0],[1, 0],[0, 0],[0, 0],[0, 1],], [[0, 0],[0, 0],[0, 0],[0, 0],], [[0, 0],[0, 0],], [[0, 0],[0, 0]] ] ] }
But the data being returned looks like this:-
{"teams":[["2147483647","10","5","12","11","2147483647","2147483647","2147483647"],["7","3","2147483647","8","2147483647","4","6","9"]],"results":[["0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0"],["0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0"]]}
Code:
public function getAutoCompleteData($tournID, $db)
{
$max = $this->max($tournID);
$one = $this->tourn_info("1on1", $tournID);
$total_matches = $max;
$after_matches = $max / 2;
$matches = $db->query($this->select("*", "matches", "leagueID='{$tournID}' AND league='tourn'"));
while ($row = $db->fetchAssoc($matches)) {
$clan1 = $this->getname($row['clan1'], $tournID, "tourn", $ac = NULL, 1, 1, $wc2 = 0);
$clan2 = $this->getname($row['clan2'], $tournID, "tourn", $ac = NULL, 1, 1, $wc2 = 1);
if ($row['matchno'] <= $after_matches) {
$clan_one[] = $row['clan1'];
$clan_two[] = $row['clan2'];
$score_one[] = $row['score1'];
$score_two[] = $row['score2'];
}
}
$data = array(
'teams' => array(
$clan_one,
$clan_two
),
'results' => array(
$score_one,
$score_two
)
);
return $data;
}
Where it shows teams, it should close the bracket ] every two teams?
Hope someone can help.

Not saying this will fix your problem, but it may help you to understand PHP.
class mustBeAClass{
protected function max($tnid){
// must have this function - can be public for outside method use
}
protected function tourn_info($typ, $tnid){
// must have this function - can be public for outside method use
}
protected function getname($arg0, $arg1, $arg2, $arg3, $arg4, $arg5, $arg6 = 0){
/* must have this function - can be public for outside method use
notice that $arg6 is how you assign default to arguments */
}
public function getAutoCompleteData($tournID, $db){
$db->open();
$max = $this->max($tournID); $one = $this->tourn_info("1on1", $tournID);
// what is the point of this ---->>>> $total_matches = $max;
$after_matches = $max / 2;
// notice query issue below
$matches = $db->query("SELECT * FROM matches WHERE leagueID ='$tournID' && league='tourn'"));
// while loop has problems
if($matches->num_rows < 1){
die('You have no matches');
}
else{
while($row = $db->fetch_assoc()){
$clan1 = $this->getname($row['clan1'], $tournID, 'tourn', null, 1, 1, 0);
$clan2 = $this->getname($row['clan2'], $tournID, 'tourn', null, 1, 1, 1);
if($row['matchno'] <= $after_matches) {
$clan_one[] = $row['clan1'];
$clan_two[] = $row['clan2'];
$score_one[] = $row['score1'];
$score_two[] = $row['score2'];
}
}
$data = array(
'teams' => array($clan_one, $clan_two),
'results' => array($score_one, $score_two)
);
}
$matches->free(); $db->close();
return $data;
}
}
$cls = new mustBeAClass;
echo json_encode($cls->getAutoCompleteData($tournId, $db));
Of course use the correct values for $tournId and your new mysqli(/*args*/) for $db.
