And while you're pondering that, make sure to read this very very

Morning all,
I've been having some fun with converting a text data file import into
a json object for storage.
I have a text file that is pipe delimited coming in via an upload. The
first row is the headers and the second row is the data.
Using this code:
$data = file("inline_Nov_8_2011.txt");
if(count($data)==2){
$keys = explode("|", $data[0]);
$fields = explode("|", $data[1]);
$combine = array_combine($keys, $fields);
$json = json_encode($combine);
}
After the combine, I get an array that looks like this
Array
(
['Legal Last Name '] => Andros
['Legal Middle Initial '] =>
['Legal First Name '] => Marisa
['Maiden/Other Name '] =>
['Social Insurance No. '] => 123456789
['Date of Birth '] => 2/1/1988
['Gender '] => Female
)
But the json encoded value looks like this (there are way more
elements but this should be enough to represent what I need to do).
{null:"Andros",null:"",null:"Marisa",null:"",null:"123456789",null:"2\/1\/1988",null:"Female"}
I have been googling for info about allowed values for the json keys,
but can't seem to find a clear doc on what is allowed and what isn't.
I have tried unquoted keys, replaced the spaced with underscores but
nothing I do seems to help.
When I echo out the json encoded data, the keys are all nulls.
Can someone point me in the correct direction? It may be that I need
to manually create the key names as an array first, which I was hoping
to avoid since the file format coming from the client is still in some
flux.

Just a thought: Try removing the spaces altogether, not by replacing
them with underscores.

<?php
//$data = file("inline_Nov_8_2011.txt");
$data = array('Legal Last Name|Legal Middle Initial|Legal First
Name|Maiden/Other Name|Social Insurance No.|Date of Birth|Gender',
'Andros||Marisa||123456789|2/1/1988|Female');
$json = '';
if(count($data)==2){
$keys = explode("|", $data[0]);
$fields = explode("|", $data[1]);
$combine = array_combine($keys, $fields);
$json = json_encode($combine);
}
echo $json;
?>
That's the code I've just used.
And it gave me perfect output:
{"Legal Last Name":"Andros","Legal Middle Initial":"","Legal First
Name":"Marisa","Maiden\/Other Name":"","Social Insurance
No.":"123456789","Date of Birth":"2\/1\/1988","Gender":"Female"}
What version of the PHP do you use?

Looking at your input array example, I see that you have trailing spaces in your
keys. Looking at the working example of DiRaven, the only difference that I see
with his example is that the input key values do not have a trailing spaces.
json is probably having an issue with that trailing spaces.

That might be a possibility, but I suspect that the single quotes
around the keys might be a problem. I haven't tried it though.

Hi folks,
I'm trying to convert the contents of an array from utf8 to utf16
(thanks for the headache MS Excel!). I originally created a "user
function" that just ran the text through
mb_convert_encoding($text,'utf-16','utf-8') but now I'm wondering if I
can't just use the internal function directly. Apparently it's more
complicated when the function requires arguments; I see example using
mysql_real_escape_string() on php.net.
My current attempt looks like this:
$clean = array_map('mb_convert_encoding', $dirty_arr, array('utf-16','utf-8'));
but I believe this is actually passing an array to
mb_convert_encoding() as the second argument rather than the 2nd and
3rd... Any ideas or am I chasing something that can't be done?
