I've found it perfectly possible to output a list of all of the categories for a channel, or a list of all of the categories that are not empty for a channel. But when I am iterating through the different posts of a channel, how can I output for each post only the categories that are checked for that specific channel entry?
I've read through the documentation pretty thoroughly, http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/channel/categories.html, and I can't seem to find a way to make it work.
I'm trying to spit this information out as JSON... to put it into context, below is what I have as a base. Ideally I would like to nest an array in my associative array that contains all of the categories for that channel entry.
<?php
$entries = array();
{exp:channel:entries channel="my_channel_entries" dynamic="yes"}
$entries[] = array(
'name' => '{entry_name}',
'description' => '{description}'
);
{/exp:channel:entries}
header('Content-type: application/json');
echo json_encode($entries, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
exit;
?>
