    text
    copied!<p>I've been using <code>json_encode</code> for a long time, and I've not had any problems so far. Now I'm working with a upload script and I try to return some JSON data after file upload.</p> <p>I have the following code:</p> <pre><code>print_r($result); // &lt;-- This is an associative array echo json_encode($result); // &lt;-- this returns valid JSON </code></pre> <p>This gives me the following results:</p> <pre><code>// print_r result Array ( [logo_url] =&gt; http://mysite.com/uploads/gallery/7f/3b/f65ab8165d_logo.jpeg [img_id] =&gt; 54 [feedback] =&gt; Array ( [message] =&gt; File uploaded [success] =&gt; 1 ) ) // Echo result {"logo_url":"http:\/\/mysite.com\/uploads\/gallery\/7f\/3b\/f65ab8165d_logo.jpeg","img_id":"54","feedback":{"message":"File uploaded","success":true}} </code></pre> <p>Can anyone tell me why <code>json_encode</code> adds slashes?</p> <p><strong>update</strong> </p> <p>@Quentin said that something is happening between <code>json_encode</code> and <code>.parseJSON</code> and he's right.</p> <p>Doing a <code>alert(data.toSource());</code> gives me the dollowing result:</p> <pre><code>({response:"{\"logo_url\":\"http:\\/\\/storelocator.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/gallery\\/7f\\/3b\\/71b9520cfc91a90afbdbbfc9d2b2239b_logo.jpeg\",\"img_id\":\"62\",\"feedback\":{\"message\":\"File uploaded\",\"success\":true}}", status:200}) </code></pre> <p>And this is not valid JSON. It also adds the <code>status:200</code> and I have no idea where this comes from.</p> <p>Could it be that the <code>Plupload bind</code> does something to my returned data?</p> <p>This is my js script:</p> <pre><code> uploader.bind('FileUploaded', function(up, file, data) { alert(data.toSource()); $('#' + file.id + " b").html("100%"); }); </code></pre>
