PHP Json Encode array

Question

I've got some Json being generated from PHP but I cannot seem to get it to be the format that I need.

$metas = get_post_meta( $key, '_tribe_tickets_meta', TRUE ); 
foreach ( $metas as $metakey ){
        $metaarray[] = array('seat_id' => $metakey);
    }
}
$array1 = array(
'bookings',
array($metaarray
),  
);
$jsonSave = json_encode($array1);

This gives me this output

["bookings",[[{"seat_id":"C_22"},{"seat_id":"BB_10"}]]]

What I am trying to achieve is this.

{"bookings":[{"seat_id":"C_22"}, {"seat_id":"BB_10"}]}

Thanks in advance for help, I'm entirely new to Json.

then you need to use associative array, like:

$array1 = array('bookings' => $metaarray);

when using associative array, you will get the right json formating.

Replace:

$array1 = array('bookings',array($metaarray));

With the following

$array1 = ['bookings'=>$metaarray];

You can do it like this as well

$array1['bookings']=array($metaarray);
$jsonSave = json_encode($array1);
