Your title is meaningless, and the question is not very descript. — wally, Aug 21 '15 at 11:10
Give us an example result/output that you're looking for - and demonstrate what things you've already tried. — wally, Aug 21 '15 at 11:10

Maybe this will help you:

print(json_encode($yourarray));

In that case you should use JSON encode:

print(json_encode($xyz));

You can use the following code:

    <?php
    $arr = ['1','2']; //Your array
    header('Content-Type: application/json'); //See my explanation
    echo json_encode($arr);
    ?>

Although it might not be required for other cases, if you are trying to create an API-like format which seems to me that you are, you need to set the Content-Type header to application/json as well so that receiving party gets the correct format.
