Answer 1

You can fetch the record from database as array format then it will convert into a json object. Try below code

// fetch the record form mysql table using mysqli_fetch_assoc() and store it in $chartData
    // then use json_decode() function used to convert the array into object format
    $chartData[] = array("country"=> "Czech Republic", "litres"=> 156.9);
    $chartData[] = array("country"=> "Czech Republic", "litres"=> 156.9);
    $chartData[] = array("country"=> "Czech Republic", "litres"=> 156.9);
    $chartData[] = array("country"=> "Czech Republic", "litres"=> 156.9);
    $chartData[] = array("country"=> "Czech Republic", "litres"=> 156.9);
    $chartData[] = array("country"=> "Czech Republic", "litres"=> 156.9);
    echo '<pre>';
    var_dump(json_encode($chartData));

I think it will helpful for you.. :-)
