Why JSON_ENCODE does not return "/" (Slash) it always return like this"\/"?

Question

When i insert url like this

alliedpaint-001-site1.smarterasp.net/white.png

in mysql and encode it using json my url shows like this

alliedpaint-001-site1.smarterasp.net\/white.png

How i can solve this?

Answer 1

json_encode returns the string, it inserts "\" in order to avoid special interpretation.

you can do 2 things-

1) json_encode($mystring, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES);

or

replace "\" with space using regex.

Hope this helps.
