How to json_encode without escaping slashes?

Question

I'm encoding it like so..

json_encode($array_list, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES)

Ex: \n turns into \\n, \r\n turns into \\r\\n

But, it's still escaping the slashes! What's wrong and how to fix it? Thanks.

Answer 1

I think it is because of single and double quotes, see the examples

$arr = array("\n\r");
echo json_encode($arr,JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES);  // ["\n\r"]

$arr = array('\n\r');
echo json_encode($arr,JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES);  //["\\n\\r"]
