How to format above json data using php

Answer 1

Use

json_decode($jsonObject, true);

this function will convert your json data in to php array. But the code you are writing seems to be very inefficient, you should not run your queries in foreach() variables, you should use like this.

<?php

try {
    $dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=$db', $user, $pass);
    $result = $dbh->query('SELECT * FROM `jos_jea_towns` LIMIT 0, 500 ');
    foreach($result as $row) {
       echo '<pre>';
       print_r($row);
       echo '</pre>';
       //echo '<pre>' . json_encode($row, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT).'</pre>';

    }
    $dbh = null;
} catch (PDOException $e) {
    print "Error!: " . $e->getMessage() . "<br/>";
    die();
}
?>
