need to json_encode a PHP array in a particular way - arrays

Question

Ok, what i have is a PHP array that looks like this:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[label] => 1
[value] => Value example
)
[1] => Array
(
[label] => 10
[value] => Value example 2
)
[...]
)
Now, if i json_encode() this array, what i get is:
[
Object { label="1", value="Value example" },
Object { label="10", value="Value example 2" },
...
]
But to use it in jQuery Autocomplete i need the array to be like this:
[
{ label="1", value="Value example" },
{ label="10", value="Value example 2" },
...
]
I've read tons of pages without finding a solution...can someone help?
UPDATE FOR PETER:
Here's my code:
$results = array();
foreach ($temp as $tmp) {
$results[] = array(
'label' => $tmp['id'],
'value' => $tmp['it']
);
};
echo json_encode($results);
If it may be useful, $temp array is generated from the following Wordpress function:
$wpdb->get_results($query, ARRAY_A);

SCRIPT:
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
var temp_array = function(request, response) {
$.ajax({
url: '<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?>',
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
data: {
'action': 'autocomplete_finder',
'data' : request.term,
},
success: function(data) {
//response(data);
console.log(data);
}
});
};
$('#containing').autocomplete({
source: temp_array,
minLength: 3,
select: function(event, ui) {
console.log('test')
}
});
});
HTML:
<input id="containing" style="width: 98%">

I just realized what simple mistake you did
Switch label with value:
$results = array();
foreach ($temp as $tmp) {
$results[] = array(
'label' => $tmp['it'],
'value' => $tmp['id']
);
};
echo json_encode($results);
and it will works
your array should look like this:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[label] => Value example
[value] => 1
)
[1] => Array
(
[label] => Value example 2
[value] => 10
)
[...]
)
