How to combine multiple arrays in one JSON object

Question

I want to display multiple arrays into one such that each time the object is created it get a key value and then forms a object to be more specific following is a short example.

How it is now:

name:[{},{},{},{}]
surname:[{},{},{},{}]
phone: [{},{},{},{}]

How I want it to be:

xyz:[{name:{}, surname{}, phone{}},
     {name:{}, surname{}, phone{}},
     {name:{}, surname{}, phone{}}]

I am exporting this in php so that I can use this JSON object in AngularJs ng-repeat directive.

following is the code:

declaring array:

$name = array();
$surname= array();
$phone= array();

assigning values WHICH IS UNDER FOR EACH LOOP

$name[] = $values ($values wil have the values for the loop)
.....

testing output

<?php echo json_encode($name);
    echo json_encode($surname);
    echo json_encode($phone);
?>

Just put the array inside of that array:$finalArr = [ $name,$surname ]; — DaAmidza

One small advice.I'd rather spend more time making a RESTful API which will handle all the background jobs.And form angular make the calls.Try out Slim it's easy and it will help you out a lot. — DaAmidza

A simple way of doing it (run):

$name = array("name 1", "name 2");
$surname = array("surname 1", "surname 2");
$phone = array("phone 1", "phone 2");

$output = array();
for($i = 0; $i < count($name); $i++){
    $output[] = array(
            'name' => $name[$i],
            'surname' => $surname[$i],
            'phone' => $phone[$i],
        );
}

print_r($output);

Output:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [name] => name 1
            [surname] => surname 1
            [phone] => phone 1
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [name] => name 2
            [surname] => surname 2
            [phone] => phone 2
        )

)

Note: It assumes all arrays are of same size and have same keys.

But maybe it would be better to instead of saving each value to 3 different variables and then running this script, try saving the values already into the array as the desired output (if possible, of course, since we can't know).
