PHP Headers To Serve JSON

  1. header('Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate');
  2. header('Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT');
  3. header('Content-type: application/json');

The first two headers prevent the browser from caching the response and the third sets the correct MIME type for JSON.

Than just output your JSON data

  1. $data = array(
  2. "fire" => 1,
  3. "water" => 0,
  4. "earth" => 1,
  5. "air" => 1,
  6.  
  7. );
  8.  
  9. echo json_encode($data);
  10. exit;

I am a full-stack developer. I love programming,  design and know my way around server architecture as well.  I would never feel complete, with one of these missing. I have a broad range of interests, that’s why I constantly dive into new technologies and expand my knowledge where ever required. Technologies are evolving fast and I enjoy using the latest. Apart from that, I am a peace loving guy who tries to have people around him that think the same.  I truly believe in the principle: “If you help someone, someone will help you, when you need it."
