json delete square brackets

Question

this php script

 <?php
 require('medoo.min.php');
 header('Content-type: application/json');
 $database = new medoo('brickx');

 $datas = $database->select("customer", ["Companyname", "Phonenumber"]);

 $jsonresponse = array("customers"=> array());
 array_push($jsonresponse["customers"], $datas);
 echo (json_encode($jsonresponse));

 ?>

outputs this kind of json:

 {"customers":[[{"Companyname":"company1","Phonenumber":"+567890789"},{"Companyname":"company2","Phonenumber":"5678905678"}]]}

however i need to get rid of the square brackets and get something like

{"customers":{"Companyname":"company1","Phonenumber":"+567890789"},{"Companyname":"company2","Phonenumber":"5678905678"}}

any suggestions?

What you want is not legal JSON. You have to keep at least one square bracket. — Wolfgang Kuehn

in some of the documentation of restkit the examples had json without square brackets. you are right if you say that i need at least one square bracket. the answer below is the correct one. thanks all for helping — jonas vermeulen

$datas is already an array, you probably want this instead:

$array = array('customers' => $datas);
echo json_encode($array);
