Re: Fine tuning of json formatting

Take a look at the Set class. There are some very useful array mangling functions in there.

set::combine() might be a good place to start :)

I have this model:

    public function getPeopleByName($name){
        $this->unbindModel(array('hasMany' => array('OfficePersonTask')));
            
        $options['fields'] = array("Person.id", "Person.full_name");
    $options['conditions'] = array("UPPER(CONCAT(Person.last_name, ' ', Person.first_name)) LIKE UPPER('".$name."%')");
            
        return $this->find('all', $options);   
    }

and related controller:

    public function getPeopleByName(){
        $people = $this->Person->getPeopleByName($_GET['name']);
        $this->set(array(
            'People' => $people,
            '_serialize' => array('People')
        ));
    }

this get me the following json:

    {
        "People": [
            {
                "Person": {
                    "id": "1",
                    "full_name": "Ringo Star"
                }
            },
            {
                "Person": {
                    "id": "2",
                    "full_name": "Jim Morrison"
                }
            }
        ]
    }

This is correct but I would remove the Person subgroup. So, every id and full_name should be member of People group. How can I do that?
