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

You can just use the stripslashes function to strip the dashes and it will work tested

  $yetAnotherObject = json_decode(stripslashes('{"namespace":"myCompany\\package\\subpackage"}'));
