var_export($response) is an array like below:
array (
0 =>
array (
'courseId' => 14,
'tutorName' => 'admin',
),
1 =>
array (
'courseId' => 15,
'tutorName' => 'merl',
),
)
The below code gives a result like this: "data": 3. I wanted add a new item called points with the $response array, into all elements. But here, it overwrites the existing array. How can I achieve this?
$dat=array_push($response,array('points'=>"3"));
return response()->json(['data' => $dat], 200);
Expected output:
[
{
"courseId": 14,
"tutorName": "admin",
"points": 3
},
{
"courseId": 15,
"tutorName": "merl",
"points": 3
}
]
As mentioned, array_push() returns the new number of elements in the array. That's why you get 3.
You can add your value in all elements of the current response, like this:
foreach ($response as $key => $value) {
$response[$key]['points'] = 3;
}
Then, just return the response :
return response()->json($response, 200);
