Invalid Encoding json (problem when displaying Cyrillic)

Question

I am trying to deduce a file from the form, I have a problem when displaying Cyrillic

Php (7.1)

<?php
    header("Content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8");
    file_put_contents('export.json', json_encode($_REQUEST) );
?>

Output You_name field is written in characters.

{"Entry_ID":"71","You_name":"\u041a\u043e\u0437\u043b\u0430\u043d\u0431\u0435\u043a \u0410\u043c\u0438\u0440 \u041f\u043e\u043c\u0438\u0434\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0447","You_phone":"7 (902) 998 1019","You_date":"19\/06\/2019"}

It looks right to me. When you read the file, you need to use json_decode. — Leo Bartkus, Jun 18 '19 at 06:13

6 year old answer still stands: Why does the PHP json_encode function convert UTF-8 strings to hexadecimal entities?

json_encode( $text, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE );

Example:

/tmp $ cat test.php
<?php
echo json_encode(['key'=>'ыфва']), PHP_EOL;
echo json_encode(['key'=>'ыфва'], JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE), PHP_EOL;
/tmp $ php test.php
{"key":"\u044b\u0444\u0432\u0430"}
{"key":"ыфва"}
/tmp $ php --version

You should use $_POST to get the form data like as below

  header("Content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8");

  file_put_contents('export.json', json_encode($_POST) );

I tried $_POST, but still Cyrillic is not displayed... Also iconv('utf-8', 'windows-1251', $str) – Александр Леванюк Jun 18 '19 at 06:37
... and file_put_contents('export.json', iconv('utf-8', 'windows-1251', $str) , FILE_APPEND); – Александр Леванюк Jun 18 '19 at 06:39

Try this (source) :

header("Content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8")

$convert = file_put_contents('export.json', json_encode($_REQUEST));
$convert = iconv('CP1251', 'UTF-8', $convert);
