note 95667 added to function.json-encode

If you are planning on using this function to serve a json file, it's important to note that the json generated by this function is not ready to be consumed by javascript until you wrap it in parens and add ";" to the end. It took me a while to figure this out so I thought I'd save others the aggravation. <?php header('Content-Type: text/javascript; charset=utf8'); header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://www.example.com/'); header('Access-Control-Max-Age: 3628800'); header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE'); $file='rss.xml'; $arr = simplexml_load_file($file);//this creates an object from the xml file $json= '('.json_encode($arr).');'; //must wrap in parens and end with semicolon print_r($_GET['callback'].$json); //callback is prepended for json-p ?> ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.55 Probable Submitter: 165.170.128.65 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/95667 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95667/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95667/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95667/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95667/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95667/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95667/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95667 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/95667 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
