PHP variable inside quotation mark for fetch

Question

i'm trying to fetch elastic api with php fetch, but on the query or the body i'm using one quote to create the query, i know that variable in php will be readed by php if we use double quote but unfortunately elastic query only accept double quote as the format of the query, so i use the one quote as the opener of the string for query, and the variable won't readed by php as varible, is it has alternative so i the php can read the variable as a variable and not as a text

PHP query elastic

    $nameCategoryListSub = "Laptop";
    $body = '{
      "query" : {
        "match": {
          "category": "$nameCategoryListSub"
        }
      }
    }';

Build a PHP array and `json_encode` it instead of building a JSON string by hand! — deceze, Aug 11 '22 at 06:44

Use PHP associative array to build your query and json_encode it to get the json query in result.

Here is the code to do that -

$nameCategoryListSub = "Laptop";

$body = [
           "query" => [
              "match" => [
                  "category" => $nameCategoryListSub
               ]
           ]
        ];
print_r(json_encode($body));
