Answer 1

Try this

<?php
    $yourArray = array(
        '0' => 'Samy Jeremiah,55', 
        '1' => 'Nelson Owen,93', 
        '2' => 'McMaster Ashlie,88', 
        '3' => 'Marsh Harlow,97', 
        '4' => 'Macfarquhar Aiden,95', 
        '5' => 'Lowe Sophie,91', 
    );

    #Check output 01
    //print_r($yourArray);

    foreach ($yourArray as $value) {                
        $explodeValue = explode( ',', $value );    
        $newName []= array($explodeValue[0] => $explodeValue[1]);
    }
    #Check output 02
    //print_r($newName);

    #Check output 03
    echo(json_encode($newName));
?>

    {"Lowe Sophie":"91"}
]

Answer 2

Your desired result is an array of arrays. You have to split each entry of your array into 2 entities and push them as an array into a new array, then json_encode() the new array.

This php-snippet only works, if your input is consistantly an array of strings, containing each one comma as separator between name and int-value:

$arr2 = array();
foreach($arr1 as $e) {
  list($name, $val) = explode(',', $e);
  $arr2[] = array($name, (int)$val);
}
echo json_encode($arr2);

Answer 3

Use below code

$data = array('Samy Jeremiah,55', 'Nelson Owen,93', 'McMaster Ashlie,88', 'Marsh Harlow,97', 'Macfarquhar Aiden,95', 'Lowe Sophie,91');
    $res = array();
    foreach($data as $e) {
      $list = explode(',', $e);
      $res[] = array($list[0], $list[1]);
    }
    echo json_encode(['data'=>$arr2]);

Output

{"data":[
         ["Samy Jeremiah",55],
         ["Nelson Owen",93],
         ["McMaster Ashlie",88],
         ["Marsh Harlow",97],
         ["Macfarquhar Aiden",95],
         ["Lowe Sophie",91]
        ]
}

Answer 4

Using the json_encode you can achieve what you want.

Suppose your array name is $arr, so now apply the json_encode.

echo json_encode(array('data'=>$arr)); //your json will be print here

Real time Example:

$arr = array('Samy Jeremiah,55', 'Nelson Owen,93', 'McMaster Ashlie,88', 'Marsh Harlow,97', 'Macfarquhar Aiden,95', 'Lowe Sophie,91');
$new_arr = array();
foreach($arr as $k => $val){
    $na = explode(",", $val);
    $na[0] = "'".$na[0]."'";
    $value = implode(",", $na);
    $new_arr[$k] = $value;
}

echo json_encode(array("data" => $new_arr));
