how remove the backslash ("\") in the json response using php?

Question

I try to add a row of mysql query into JSON whit php. I use this code:

public function lugaresCercanos($lng, $lat, $distance){
$result=mysql_query("SELECT nombre, distancia FROM Lugar ORDER BY distancia ASC");
$info=array();
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC)){
        array_push($info,$row);
    }
    return json_encode($info);

This returns a JSONObject, but I'm not sure.

    class resultado_final {
public $logstatus = "";
public $lugares_cercanos = "";}

$result_final = new resultado_final();
if($db->login($usuario,$passw)){
$result_final->logstatus = "0";}else{
$result_final->logstatus = "1";}
$result_final->lugares_cercanos = $lista;
echo json_encode($result_final);

This code print this:

{"logstatus":"1","lugares_cercanos":"[{\"nombre\":\"Rio Amazonas\",\"distancia\":\"5119.000\"},{\"nombre\":\"Swissotel \",\"distancia\":\"5823.000\"},{\"nombre\":\"Laguna de Yaguarcocha\",\"distancia\":\"71797.000\"}]"}

why the rows of the query are separated by backslashes? how remove the backslashes? Thanks alot!

Answer 1

The \ is to escape the quotes (") that are part of the response.

Use stripslashes() to strip these out.

When a string wrapped in quotes contains quotes, they have to be escaped. The escape character in php is \.
