Answer 1

Considering the following data set...

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS cities;

CREATE TABLE `cities` (
   `city_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
   `city_name` varchar(30) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
   `state_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
   `status` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1' COMMENT '0:Blocked, 1:Active'
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=6178 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS countries;

CREATE TABLE `countries` (
   `country_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
   `country_name` varchar(30) CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT NULL,
   `status` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1' COMMENT '0:Blocked, 1:Active'
 ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=240 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS states;

CREATE TABLE `states` (
   `state_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
   `state_name` varchar(30) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
   `country_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
   `status` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1' COMMENT '0:Blocked, 1:Active'
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1652 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

INSERT INTO cities VALUES
 (1,'San Francisco',1,1),
 (2,'Los Angeles',1,1),
 (3,'Winnipeg',2,1),
 (4,'Toronto',3,1);

INSERT INTO states VALUES
 (1,'California',1,1),
 (2,'Manitoba',2,1),
 (3,'Ontario',2,1);

INSERT INTO countries VALUES
 (1,'USA',1),
 (2,'Canada',1);

SELECT x.country_id
     , x.country_name
     , y.state_id
     , y.state_name
     , z.city_id
     , z.city_name 
  FROM countries x 
  JOIN states y 
    ON y.country_id = x.country_id 
  JOIN cities z 
    ON z.state_id = y.state_id;
+------------+--------------+----------+------------+---------+---------------+
| country_id | country_name | state_id | state_name | city_id | city_name     |
+------------+--------------+----------+------------+---------+---------------+
|          1 | USA          |        1 | California |       1 | San Francisco |
|          1 | USA          |        1 | California |       2 | Los Angeles   |
|          2 | Canada       |        2 | Manitoba   |       3 | Winnipeg      |
|          2 | Canada       |        3 | Ontario    |       4 | Toronto       |
+------------+--------------+----------+------------+---------+---------------+

The following code will output the desired result...

<?php

    require('path/to/connection/stateme.nts');

    $query = "
    SELECT x.country_id
         , x.country_name
         , y.state_id
         , y.state_name
         , z.city_id
         , z.city_name
      FROM countries x
      JOIN states y
        ON y.country_id = x.country_id
      JOIN cities z
        ON z.state_id = y.state_id;
    ";

    $result = mysqli_query($db,$query) or die(mysqli_error($db));

    $my_array = array();

    while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
        {
            $my_array[] = $row;
        }

    print_r($my_array);

    $new_array = array();

    foreach($my_array as $row){
    $new_array[$row['country_name']][$row['state_name']][]=$row['city_name'];
    }

    $my_json = json_encode($new_array);

    print $my_json;

    ?>

This outputs...

{"USA":{"California":["San Francisco","Los Angeles"]},"Canada":{"Manitoba":["Winnipeg"],"Ontario":["Toronto"]}}
