How can I put double quotes inside a string within an ajax JSON response from php?
- by karlthorwald
I receive a JSON response in an Ajax request from the server. This way it works:
{ "a" = "1", "b" = "hello 'kitty'" }
But I did not succeed in putting double quotes around kitty.
When I convert " to \x22 in the Ajax response, it is still interpreted as " by JavaScript and I cannot parse the JSON.
Should I also escape the \ and unescape later (which would be possible)?
How to do this?
Edit: I am not sure if i expressed it well: I want this string inside of "b" after the parse:
hello "kitty"
If necessary I could also add an additional step after the parse to convert "b", but I guess it is not necessary, there is a more elegant way so this happens automatically?
Edit2: The ajax page is generated by php. I tried several things now to create the value of b, all result in JSON parse error on the page:
$b = 'hello "kitty"';
// no 1:
//$b = str_replace('"',"\x22",$b);
// or no 2:
// $b = addslashes($b);
// or no 3:
//$b = str_replace('"','\"',$b);
// or no 4:
$b = str_replace('"','\\"',$b);
echo '"b" : "' . $b . '"';
