how to add item to the json file formatted array
Adding another player
$tempArray = json_decode($inp, true);
array_push($tempArray['players'], array('name' => $data['username'], 'image' => $data['userimage'], 'roll_over_image' => 'tank.jpg'));
Updating matches
first match array
$tempArray['games'][0]['matches'];
second match array
$tempArray['games'][1]['matches'];
are now simple two dimensional arrays with keys player1id, player2id and winner - it should be easy to update these.
After that you can encode the $tempArray back to json.

<?php
//first copy your json data data.json
$str = file_get_contents('data.json');//get contents of your json file and store it in a string,bro small suggestion never keep any JSON data in ur html file its not safe.always keep json data in external file.
$arr = json_decode($str, true);//decode it
$arrne['players'] = "sadaadad";
$arrne['image'] = "sadaadad";
$arrne['roll_over_image'] = "sadaadad";
array_push( $arr['employees'], $arrne);//push contents to ur decoded array i.e $arr
$str = json_encode($arr);
//now send evrything to ur data.json file using folowing code
if (json_decode($str) != null)
{
$file = fopen('data.json','w');
fwrite($file, $str);
fclose($file);
}
else
{
// invalid JSON, handle the error
}
?>

Just decode your json string and then use array push
$tempArray = json_decode($jsonstring, true);
array_push($tempArray, $your_data);
For your case
$str = '{
"players":[
{
"name":"Moldova",
"image":"/Images/Moldova.jpg",
"roll_over_image":"tank.jpg"
},
{
"name":"Georgia",
"image":"/Images/georgia.gif",
"roll_over_image":"tank.jpg"
} ]}';
$arr = json_decode($str, true);
$arrne['name'] = "dsds";
array_push( $arr['players'], $arrne );
print_r($arr);
Just check value of print_r($arr); I hope this is what you want. :)
