Why does php insert backslash while replacing double quotes
How can you remove the backslashes from a JSON.stringify() after it is sent with AJAX?
The JSON before I send it does not have the backslashes, and afterwards it does. Are the backslashes always added by PHP when it encounters double quotes in a string?
Post-ajax output of JSON.stringify():
[
{
\"firstname\":\"John\",
\"lastname\":\"Doe\"
},
{
\"firstname\":\"Jane\",
\"lastname\":\"Smith\"
}
]
Try php stripslashes function to remove them
Turn off the magic quotes feature.
