Json encode

[moizhb]

Hi there,

 

I am running 5.2.5 on the server and 5.3.5 on my sandbox. I am using json_encode($arr, true) which works on my sandbox but doesn't work on the server since 5.2.5 doesn't allow second argument. The second argument is for parsing HTML in the array and return the json with HTML. I am trying to find out a way to make it work on the server since I cannot update the php version.

 

Is there a way I can encode the HTML before assigning to the array or if I can get the latest definition of json_encode()?

 

 

Thank you very much in advance.

The second parameter for json_encode is actually a group of options that are predefined constants. Passing true in doesn't seem correct to me? Although if it's working for you... How, exactly, is it parsing the HTML?

[moizhb]

I agree with you. The second parameter is predefined constants. But passing true works for me. I can parse the HTML if I pass true using JSON.parse(data) on the browser but if I do not pass second parameter I see the following error on the browser.

uncaught exception: Invalid JSON:

 

I appreciate you helping me out.

 

Thank you,

Moiz

A logical true evaluates to a 1.

 

The predefined constant JSON_HEX_TAG (currently) has the value 1. It is likely that your use of true results in - All < and > are converted to \u003C and \u003E

 

You should use the predefined constant JSON_HEX_TAG so that your code will (always) work correctly and clearly and you can do a simple str_replace using arrays on the data to emulate what JSON_HEX_TAG does.

Hi there,

 

Thank you for replying.

Wouldn't htmlentities() do that?

I tried htmlentities but didn't work.

 

Thanks,
