php json response formatting as per requirement

Question

I am returning json response to api, using json_encode() method. I have array which is where a key users can have multiple user or no user i.e empty array,and key course is either empty or can have single object as below

{
"success": true,
"code": 200,
"message": "",
"result": {
    "users": [],
    "course": []
}

}

if it has data the response is like this

{
  "success": true,
  "code": 200,
  "message": "",
  "result": {
    "users": [
        {
            "name": "Vishal",
            "Age": 25
        },
        {
            "name": "Akshay",
            "Age": 29
        }
    ],
    "course": {
        "name": "xyz"
    }
  }
 }

but what i want is users should be array in both cases and course should return as object in both cases. is it possible.??

You can force course entry to be object before json encoding.

 $ret["result"]["course"] = (object)$course;
