How to deal with backslashes in json strings php

Question

There appears to be an oddity with json_encode and/or json_decode when attempting decode a string that was produced by json_encode:

    $object = new stdClas         


        

Answer 1

Thats because PHP is converting the double slashes into a single slash before passing it to json_decode. You will need to either escape the double slashes (a pain I know) or construct the object manually.
