json - need to json_encode a PHP array in a particular way -

ok, have php array looks this:

array (     [0] => array         (             [label] => 1             [value] => value example         )     [1] => array         (             [label] => 10             [value] => value example 2         )     [...] ) 

now, if json_encode() array, is:

[     object { label="1", value="value example" },     object { label="10", value="value example 2" },     ... ] 

but use in jquery autocomplete need array this:

[     { label="1", value="value example" },     { label="10", value="value example 2" },     ... ] 

i've read tons of pages without finding solution...can help?

update peter:

here's code:

$results = array(); foreach ($temp $tmp) {     $results[] = array(         'label' => $tmp['id'],         'value' => $tmp['it']     ); }; echo json_encode($results); 

if may useful, $temp array generated following wordpress function:

$wpdb->get_results($query, array_a); 

update peter 2

script:

jquery(document).ready(function($){     var temp_array = function(request, response) {         $.ajax({             url: '<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?>',             type: 'post',             datatype: 'json',             data: {                 'action': 'autocomplete_finder',                 'data' : request.term,             },             success: function(data) {                 //response(data);                 console.log(data);             }         });     };     $('#containing').autocomplete({         source: temp_array,         minlength: 3,         select: function(event, ui) {             console.log('test')         }     }); }); 

html:

<input id="containing" style="width: 98%"> 

i realized simple mistake did

switch label value:

$results = array(); foreach ($temp $tmp) {     $results[] = array(         'label' => $tmp['it'],         'value' => $tmp['id']     ); }; echo json_encode($results); 

and works

your array should this:

array (     [0] => array         (             [label] => value example             [value] => 1         )     [1] => array         (             [label] => value example 2             [value] => 10         )     [...] )
