How to get the json format of data from prestashop web service

Question

I need to return the json format of data for client request. I used prestashop 1.6 and enabled the web services and created the authkey. I am using below code

<?php
define('DEBUG', true);                                          // Debug mode
define('PS_SHOP_PATH', 'http://www.example.com');       // Root path of your PrestaShop store
define('PS_WS_AUTH_KEY', 'myauthkey');  // Auth key (Get it in your Back Office)
require_once('PSWebServiceLibrary.php');

try
{
    $webService = new PrestaShopWebservice(PS_SHOP_PATH, PS_WS_AUTH_KEY, DEBUG);

    // Here we set the option array for the Webservice : we want customers resources
    $opt['resource'] = 'categories';

    $opt['output_format'] = 'JSON';

    $opt['ps_method']   = 'GET';

    // Call
    $output = $webService->get($opt);
   echo $output;
}
catch (PrestaShopWebserviceException $e)
{
    // Here we are dealing with errors
    $trace = $e->getTrace();
    if ($trace[0]['args'][0] == 404) echo 'Bad ID';
    else if ($trace[0]['args'][0] == 401) echo 'Bad auth key';
    else echo 'Other error';
}
?>

But it returns like

It seems you get a simpleXMLElement back. Which can be converted to JSON by using json_encode() also look at this question: PHP convert XML to JSON

I already check with json_encode($array) it return json format data, but i need to response only json string but it return with http resonse header and RETURN HTTP BODY texts also. How to remove those things and response only json string – Vinoth Kumar May 21 '15 at 11:09
You could try to strip out everything up to RETURN HTTP BODY with strstr (http://php.net/manual/en/function.strstr.php) and then put it trough json_encode I guess.. Here is an example to do just that: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7802821/php-remove-all-characters-before-specific-string – Lost F. May 21 '15 at 11:55
If i not echo anything, it default display the HTTP RESPONSE HEADER and RETURN HTTP BODY details. why the prestashop webservice module echo the http contents – Vinoth Kumar May 22 '15 at 05:14
