PHP json_encode

PHP json_encode() is a built-in function that converts a value to JSON value. 

json_decode(
    string $json,
    ?bool $associative = null,
    int $depth = 512,
    int $flags = 0
): mixed

The json_encode() function accepts two arguments and returns the string. Objects also can be converted into JSON by using a json_encode() function.

Convert JSON string to PHP object with json_decode

Cdoe to tranform json object to php array:

$myArr = array("apple", "banana", "mango", "orange");
$toJSON = json_encode($myArr);
echo $toJSON;
