The resultant json includes "submit": "Submit". How to avoid the same ?

I have updated to remove submit from being inserted into json.

Hi @mikestratton,
Pardon my ignorance, but this is the very first time that I am dealing with PHP and json.

Can you please advise how can the following heirarchy be set up in the array ?

"transactionAmount": {
"total": "1",
"currency": "036"
}
