can you give me some example of it, how to do this on server side if i want to use json of my client side.

Answer 1

You can't use JSON to parse things, JSON is the data format.

You can use a JSON parser and a JSON serializer at both ends (i.e. in client side JS and server side PHP).

http://json.org/ has links to parsers and serializers in various languages near the bottom, they have documentation which usually includes examples.

Answer 2

JSON is a very simple and straight-forward format, so in case your data model is also simple, you could just use plain echo() or printf() statements on your server to generate the JSON output.

Answer 3

You probably mean that you want to encode something on the server side as JSON. Take a look at json_encode: http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php
