php => rails (JSON)

rubyonrails-talk

I have an application that creates a snippet of php in a server, for packaging up data for JSON, using the php package "Pear." The snippet I create (with varying data, of course, as the application runs) is written in php, but I really want to keep things rails-centric. Is there a way to convert this to NOT use php, so that I am entirely Ruby on Rails? Thanks, Janna B

<?php ini_set('include_path',ini_get('include_path').";C:\Program Files \Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs"."\pear"); require('JSON.php');

$records=array(); $records=array('order'=>1, 'username'=>'joeyt'); $json=new Services_JSON(); echo($json->encode($records)); ?>

Janna, the above PHP code simply converts a PHP array to JSON format.

Thus, you can do the equivalent in Ruby as follows:

require “json”

records = { order’=>1, ‘username’=>‘joeyt’ }.to_json

Good luck,

Correction:

Magnificent! Thank you Conrad!
