arrays - object to json in php -

hi guys got problem . while implementing code reached point need use tojson method in each object

so inside class have added code

public function tojson(){    return json_encode($this);  // $this refers current object   }

it has returned {} knew not recognize properties of class instead have tried convert

public function tojson(){    $array=(array)$this;    return json_encode($array);  }

i got weird result

string '{"\u0000response\u0000status":0,"\u0000response\u0000data":null,"\u0000response\u0000error":" type non valide "}' (length=112)

i write customized json object

 public function tojson(){        $myjson="{field1:data1,field2:data2}";        return $myjson;      }

but not want return each time add new property

i appreciate if have idea why converting not work

you need convert object properties array before encoding json:

public function tojson(){    return json_encode(get_object_vars($this)); }

as can see, can use get_object_vars accomplish that.
