Convert php object to nested Json [closed]

I am new in PHP. I have text file with list of PHP objects arrays in it. I want to write a PHP script to read the rows in the file, convert it using json_encode function and write the converted JSON data into a new file.



Here is the PHP code I have come up with. But obviously not working and returning null.



<?php 
$file = fopen("sampleobjects.txt", "r");
$raw_text = fread($file,filesize("sampleobjects.txt"));

foreach ($raw_text as $item) {
$json = json_encode($item, true);
}

//print_r(htmlspecialchars($json));
var_dump ($json);
$converted_file = fopen("jsonconverted.txt", "w");
fwrite($converted_file, $json);
?>


Please share if you have any thoughts on how to fix it.



Thanks.



As requested, here is a sample.



 $structure=new stdClass;
$structure->children=array();
$structure->title='From 4.4.4 to the end of Body 4.4.5.1';
$structure->level='0';
$structure->course='SomeMediaName';
$structure->websites='';
$structure->lang='';
$structure->copyright='';
$structure->children=(object)array('id'=>22775381,
'title'=>'4.4.4 Title1',
'level'=>'1',
'number'=>'1',
'children'=>array(
(object)array('id'=>22775382,
'title'=>'4.4.4.1 Subtitle1',
'level'=>'2',
'number'=>'1.1',
'children'=>array()),
(object)array('id'=>22775383,
'title'=>'4.4.4.2 Subtitle2',
'level'=>'2',

(object)array('id'=>22775391,
'title'=>'4.4.4.10 Subtitle3',
'level'=>'2',
'number'=>'1.10',
'children'=>array()
)));
$structure->children=(object)array(

    So if it is obviously not working - you can tell what should be fixed.

    You're overwriting the $json var each time. Store all the items in an array (with keys as necessary), then json_encode the array once at the end.

    you also probably dont' mean json_encode($item,true), not per docs ... possible confusion with json_decode's syntax
