Contains simple PHP code.
<?php
include('config.php');
$sql=mysql_query("select * from Posts limit 20");
echo '{"posts": [';
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($sql))

  1. To create JSON easily you have to do this:

    $result['title'] = $title;
    $result['url'] = $url;
    $result = json_encode($result);
    echo $result;

  6. you can use json encode for this you can use this as < ?php

    $result ="";
    for($i=0;$i<10;$i++)
    {
    $result[$i]['title'] = "title " + $i;
    $result[$i]['url'] = "url " + $i ;
    }
    $result = json_encode($result);
    echo $result;
