force json_encode not to put quotes

[vassy2010]

Hello.

 

I need to force json_encode NOT to put any quotes around certain values.

Example:

 
$ar = array(
'data' => '$(this).val()'
);

 

json_encode returns:

 
{"data":"$(this).val()"}

 

and $(this).val() doesn't get executed by javascript when I publish this result on a page.

 

Is it possible to tell json_encode not to enclose some values with quotes?

Like when it doesn't do that for integers.

 

Thank you!

json_encode simply sees '$(this).val()' as a string, which it is. If you want it evaluated by Javascript you will need to execute it via js's eval method.

I.e.

 

eval(json.data);

Thanks for advise, although it won't work out for me.

 

I can't modify anything in the output or that place where json_encode is being called, cause this is a 3rd party app and each time I will be upgrading it these changes will be lost.

 

I have control over $ar array only.
