How can JSON output be generated in PHP when executing a script on a remote server?

To generate JSON output in PHP when executing a script on a remote server, you can use the `json_encode()` function to convert an array or object into a JSON string. You can then set the appropriate headers to indicate that the response is JSON. Finally, echo the JSON string to output it to the client.

$data = array("name" => "John", "age" => 30, "city" => "New York");
$json = json_encode($data);

header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo $json;
