Your problem is that each time your foreach executes, it overrides the content of $json variable. Try declaring $json first and then using it.

if($record)
{
    $json = array();
    foreach($record as $rec)
    {
        $json[] = array("msg"=>$rec);
        //   /\ this means adding the attribution to the end of the array.
    }
}

This way, each time the foreach is executed, the content of $json won't be replaced, instead it will be appended.
