building json by using mysql fetch result

hello i want to use my mysql result to build the json objects. my first query is fetching parent menu and another query is fetching child menu so i am going to put my child menu result under the parent menu.. i want to know what is wrong with my code and how to correct

<?php
    $selectparentMenu=mysql_query("SELECT `id`,`item_name`,`menu_type`,`parent` FROM `epic_master_menu` where parent=0");
    //echo $myfetch=mysql_fetch_array($selectMenu);
        if(mysql_num_rows($selectparentMenu)>1) {
    while($fetchparentMenu=mysql_fetch_array($selectparentMenu)) {
         //echo 'parent id is' .$parentId=$fetchparentMenu['id']. '<br/>';
        // echo 'parent name is' .$parentId=$fetchparentMenu['item_name']. '<br/>';


         $selectchildMenu=mysql_query("SELECT `id` , `item_name` , `menu_type` , `parent` FROM `epic_master_menu`
    WHERE parent >0 AND `menu_type` = 'item' AND `parent` ='".$fetchparentMenu['id']."'");
    if(mysql_num_rows($selectchildMenu)>1) {
         while($fetchchildMenu=mysql_fetch_array($selectchildMenu)) {

             $textjson = '{
    "dataSource": [{
            "id": "", "text": "Select All", "expanded": "true", "spriteCssClass": "rootfolder", "items": [
                {
                    "id": "'.$fetchparentMenu["id"].'", "text": "'.$fetchparentMenu["item_name"].'", "expanded": true,"spriteCssClass": "folder", "items": [
                        { "id": "'.$fetchchildMenu["id"].'", "text": "'.$fetchparentMenu["item_name"].'", "spriteCssClass": "html" },
                        { "id": "'.$fetchchildMenu["id"].'", "text": "'.$fetchparentMenu["item_name"].'", "spriteCssClass": "html" },
                        { "id": "'.$fetchchildMenu["id"].'", "text": "'.$fetchparentMenu["item_name"].'", "spriteCssClass": "image" }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }]
    }';

             }  }

         /* $fetchMenu['item_name'];
           $fetchMenu['menu_type'];
           $fetchMenu['parent'];*/
        //print_r($fetchMenu);
        } }

Its much easier to use the included json functions from PHP. Here you can use json_encode to create a json string from an array.

$childArray = array();

while($fetchchildMenu=mysql_fetch_array($selectchildMenu)) {
   $childArray[] = array(
       'id' => $fetchchildMenu['id'],
       'text' => $fetchchildMenu['text']
   );
}

$jsonDataChilds = json_encode($childArray);
echo $jsonDataChilds;

Instead of creating your own version.. you could simply make use of json_encode()

while($fetchchildMenu=mysql_fetch_array($selectchildMenu))
 {
      $somearr[]=$fetchchildMenu;
 }

$jsonData = json_encode($somearr);
echo $jsonData; //<---- Prints your JSON data
