PHP - array_search appends keys with json_encode function parsing issue [duplicate]

Below is my JSON Result when I do not replace the order of channels as per timings:

"channels": [

{
    "id": "1",
    "name": "LBC دراما "
},
{
    "id": "2",
    "name": "KTV Arabe"
},
{
    "id": "3",
    "name": "KTV Plus"
}

]

Now, when I replace the array keys with values returned by array_search function, it brings the key with array response which is problem for me:

"channels": {

"0": {
    "id": "2",
    "name": "KTV Arabe"
},
"1": {
    "id": "1",
    "name": "LBC دراما "
},
"3": {
    "id": "3",
    "name": "KTV Plus"
}

}

code:

$newChannelsArr['channels'][array_search($channelsArr['channels'][$a]['id'], $data)] = ($channelsArr['channels'][$a]);

How can I overcome from keys getting appended in my json array?

My Code Snippet:

$data values:

 Array
    (
        [0] => 2
        [1] => 1
        [3] => 3
    )

$newChannelsArr = array();
    if(isset($data)){
        for($a = 0; $a < count($data); $a++){


            $kv = array_search($channelsArr['channels'][$a]['id'], $data);
            $newChannelsArr['channels'][(int)$kv] = ($channelsArr['channels'][$a]);

        }
    }

Solution:

Solution

ksort($newChannelsArr['channels']); // sort an array
$arr = array_map('array_values', $arr); // regenerate their keys 

It will be a quick patch.
