Hey Guys,

More out of interest rather than a specific project... so no rush to respond.

I often generate a php file and name it filename.xml.php and include the appropriate headers and structure. Can we do the same for JSON?

I can see we can use php to create a json file, but this means we have to run that file on a CRON to keep that JSON up to date.

<?php 

// data strored in array$array = Array (   
"0" => Array (
        "id" => "01",        "name" => "Tim Mason",        "designation" => "System Architect"    ),   
"1" => Array (
        "id" => "02",        "name" => "Jennifer Laurence",        "designation" => "Senior Programmer"    ),   
"2" => Array (
        "id" => "03",        "name" => "Medona Oliver",        "designation" => "Office Manager"    )
);

// encode array to json
$json = json_encode($array);
$bytes = file_put_contents("myfile.json", $json); 
echo "The number of bytes written are $bytes.";

?>
