Hi Stephen,

The most basic example would be to JSON encode an array and echo it out to the page, for example.

<?php

$data = array('key' => 'value');
echo json_encode($data);

I should have been clearer. I meant an array inside an array like the sample data for the project. i.e. status = ok name = treehouse cnt = 10 post = title= yes you can author = me date = 12-4-81

title= no you cant author = you date = 12-10-81

title= you might author = someone date = 12-25-82
