Passing parameters to api

I want to pass an api a few parameters. The api documentation says that it should be passed in this way :

attributes='{"name":"tigers.jpeg", "parent":{"id":"11446498"}}

I am trying to achieve this in php through the following code this but its not working:

$params = array('filename' => "@" . realpath($filename), 
'parent' => array('id' => $parent_id));

you need to use PHP's own StdClass or your own class to represent JSON objects in PHP.
this is an exact replication of the JSON string in your question:

$att = new StdClass;
$att->name = "tigers.jpeg";
$att->parent = new StdClass;
$att->parent->id = "11446498";

as you can see when encoding it back to JSON with PHP:

echo json_encode($att);
//outputs: {"name":"tigers.jpeg","parent":{"id":"11446498"}}
