I'm trying to convert my array to JSON.

My JSON is stored in the database and will later be decoded for permission checking.

Example,

How I want it to be stored in the database:

```
{ "admin": 1,
"create_posts": 1,
"edit_posts": 1,
"delete_posts": 1 }

```

How it is being stored now:

```
{"0":"\"admin\": 1",
 "1":"\"create_posts\": 1",
 "2":"\"edit_posts\": 1",
 "3":"\"delete_posts\": 1"}

```

My code:

```
$check_list = $_POST['check_list'];
$list = array();

foreach($check_list as $key) {
     $key = '"' . $key .= '": 1';

     array_push($list, $key);
}

$json = json_encode($list, JSON_FORCE_OBJECT);

```

How would I make it so that it stores in the database like I want it to be?

I'm quite new to this, so any hints instead of direct answers is also much appreciated!

UPDATE:
-------

JSON decode and validation:

```
$permis = json_decode($permissions->permissions, true);

echo ($permis['admin'] == true) ? 'allowed' : 'disallowed';

```
