Any way to return PHP json_encode
with encode UTF-8 and not Unicode?
$arr=array('a'=>'á');
echo json_encode($arr);
mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8');
and $arr=array_map('utf8_encode',$arr);
does not fix it.
Result: {"a":"\u00e1"}
Expected result: {"a":"á"}
{"a":"\u00e1"}
and {"a":"á"}
are different ways to write the same JSON document; The JSON decoder will decode the unicode escape.
In php 5.4+, php's json_encode
does have the JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE
option for plain output. On older php versions, you can roll out your own JSON encoder that does not encode non-ASCII characters, or use Pear's JSON encoder and remove line 349 to 433.
I resolved my problem doing this:
json_encode($array, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE)
to encode the data;The result is a .json file encoded to ANSI as UTF-8.
This function found here, works fine for me
function jsonRemoveUnicodeSequences($struct) {
return preg_replace("/\\\\u([a-f0-9]{4})/e", "iconv('UCS-4LE','UTF-8',pack('V', hexdec('U$1')))", json_encode($struct));
}
just use this,
utf8_encode($string);
you've to replace your $arr
with $string
.
I think it will work...try this.
Use JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE
inside json_encode()
if your php version >=5.4.
