if(isset($userId))
{
$select="select * from menu_template_background where user_id='".$userId."'";
$query= mysql_query($select);
$fetch_row= mysql_fetch_array($query);
$url="http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$str= strripos($url , "/");

$fetchmenuDesign= array("template"=>$template);


echo $menuDesign[]=json_encode($fetchmenuDesign);

}

when i am trying to hit the image url it is not working.please help me if there is something wrong in my code.

`http://localhost/restaurant/admin/images2.jpg` looks like a perfectly valid URL for an image. What format are you *expecting*? — ceejayoz, Oct 22 '13 at 16:16
no it is not coming in this format it is coming like "template":"http:\/\/localhost\/restaurant\/admin\/images2.jpg" — user2907907, Oct 22 '13 at 16:17
Can you show us the code that uses the JSON generated by this? — Thanatos, Oct 22 '13 at 16:21
`{"template":"http:\/\/localhost\/restaurant\/admin\/images2.jpg"}` is the perfectly valid JSON encoded form of `array('template' => 'http://localhost/restaurant/admin/images2.jpg')`. There's no problem here. — deceze, Oct 22 '13 at 16:22
i have used this to encode json. json_encode($fetchmenuDesign); i have post my code above. — user2907907, Oct 22 '13 at 16:23
but when i am trying to hit the url it is not showing image. — user2907907, Oct 22 '13 at 16:27
Since you are JSON *encoding* it, you need to be JSON *decoding* it using a decoder which sticks to the JSON standard. Are you doing that? What are you doing with the JSON afterwards? — deceze, Oct 22 '13 at 16:32
i am just sending response in json for iphone web service.iphone developer required response in json. — user2907907, Oct 22 '13 at 16:36
There is nothing wrong as far as we can see, that's the point. — deceze, Oct 22 '13 at 17:23

PHP's json_encode, by default, escapes slashes. This is perfectly valid JSON.

You can override this (in PHP 5.4+) by doing json_encode($stuff, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES) but this really shouldn't be necessary.
