Ampersand in JSON/PHP in POST
- by svenkapudija
I'm having a text field which is send via JSON and jQuery (wrapped with .toJSON function) to my server via AJAX and POST request. On PHP side I'm doing json_decode .
Everything works but if I put ampersand (&) inside it splits up the POST parameter so its incomplete on PHP side (at least what var_dump($_POST) is writing out).
Shouldn't the toJSON and json_decode do all the job (escaping)? I tried encodeURIComponent, & to &, & to \u0026 and it's not working.
What I'm doing wrong?
AJAX call
function execute() {
this.setupUrl();
return $.ajax({
type: this.requestMethod,
data: this.getDataParams(),
url: this.url
});
}
function getDataParams() {
if(this.data != undefined) {
if(this.requestMethod == 'POST' || this.requestMethod == 'PUT') {
return "data=" + $.toJSON(this.data);
} else if (this.requestMethod == 'GET') {
return this.data;
}
} else {
return null;
}
}
