[csplrj]

Below is the code I have written for php json decoding.

Can't understand the reason

 

Thanks in advance

PHP File

<?
$pages=$_POST['pages'];
if($pages!=null)
{
	$pages1=json_decode($pages);
	//echo((json_encode(array('a'=>1,'b'=>2))));
	echo($pages);
	var_dump($pages1);
	echo PHP_EOL;
	//echo($pages1);
	echo(' JSONERROR='.json_last_error());
}
?>
<form method="post" id="addPage">
<input type="hidden" value='[{"id":0},{"id":64, "websiteId":14, "pageName":"Home", "parentPageId":0, "pageTypeId":1, "orderNo":1, "pages":[]},{"id":65, "websiteId":14, "pageName":"a", "parentPageId":0, "pageTypeId":1, "orderNo":2, "pages":[{"id":66, "websiteId":14, "pageName":"b", "parentPageId":65, "pageTypeId":1, "orderNo":3, "pages":[]]},{"id":66, "websiteId":14, "pageName":"b", "parentPageId":65, "pageTypeId":1, "orderNo":3, "pages":[]},{"id":67, "websiteId":14, "pageName":"c", "parentPageId":0, "pageTypeId":1, "orderNo":4, "pages":[]}]' id="pages" name="pages"/>
<input type="hidden" value='[{"id":0},{"id":64, "websiteId":14, "pageName":"Home", "parentPageId":0, "pageTypeId":1, "orderNo":1, "pages":[]}]' id="pages" name="pages1"/>
<input type=submit>
</form>

 

 

But this output comes

NULL JSONERROR=2

Can you echo $pages to see what it looks like?

Below is the output for $pages

 

[{"id":0},{"id":64, "websiteId":14, "pageName":"Home", "parentPageId":0, "pageTypeId":1, "orderNo":1, "pages":[]},{"id":65, "websiteId":14, "pageName":"a", "parentPageId":0, "pageTypeId":1, "orderNo":2, "pages":[{"id":66, "websiteId":14, "pageName":"b", "parentPageId":65, "pageTypeId":1, "orderNo":3, "pages":[]]},{"id":66, "websiteId":14, "pageName":"b", "parentPageId":65, "pageTypeId":1, "orderNo":3, "pages":[]},{"id":67, "websiteId":14, "pageName":"c", "parentPageId":0, "pageTypeId":1, "orderNo":4, "pages":[]}]

How are you creating the JSON values because they're malformed: for the last one you posted there was an extra ] and some missing ]} chars.

 

A helpful friend here is http://www.jsonlint.com

Thanks for the link given as it helped me in identifying the issue

 

I changed the json string and then When I try it does not works in PHP Version 5.2.4 but it works on PHP Version 5.3.1.

I have my shared hosting on PHP Version 5.2.4. How to do the same

 

<?
$pages=$_POST['pages'];
if($pages!=null)
{
	$pages1=json_decode($pages);
	var_dump($pages1);
}
?>
<form method="post" id="addPage">
<input type="hidden" value='[{"parentPageId":0, "id":0},{"parentPageId":0, "id":68},{"parentPageId":0, "id":69},{"parentPageId":69, "id":70},{"parentPageId":0, "id":71}]' id="pages" name="pages"/>
<input type=submit>
</form>

 

Thanks in advance

I got the issue was I have to use instead of 

 

$pages1=json_decode($pages);

 

I have to write

$pages1=json_decode(stripslashes($pages));

 

in the Shared hosting

 

Thanks in advance
