How can JSON encoding be implemented in PHP to generate the desired output when executing a script on a remote server?

To implement JSON encoding in PHP to generate the desired output when executing a script on a remote server, you can use the `json_encode()` function to encode an array or object into a JSON string. This JSON string can then be sent to the remote server using a method like cURL or HTTP POST. On the remote server, you can decode the JSON string back into an array or object using `json_decode()` to access the data. 

// Example of encoding data into JSON and sending it to a remote server
$data = array('name' => 'John', 'age' => 30);
$json_data = json_encode($data);

$remote_url = 'http://example.com/api.php';
$ch = curl_init($remote_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json_data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

// On the remote server (api.php), decode the JSON data
$data_received = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);

// Access the data received from the client
$name = $data_received['name'];
$age = $data_received['age'];

// Process the data as needed
