note 96895 added to function.json-encode

Regarding [garydavis at gmail dot com], You should not wrap JSON output in parens or semicolons because that is not properly formatted JSON. Wrapping JSON in parens is only needed when you are using JavaScript's eval() method to get the objectified version of a JSON string. Keep in mind, using eval() is terribly slow and insecure for many reasons (try a web search for "eval is evil"). So, if you absolutely must use eval() to convert your JSON string into a JSON object, you should be padding the JSON string with parens just before you evaluate it. Anything else is an abuse of the JSON standard (notable exception being JSONp). In any case where you are able, use a real JSON parser to safely convert to and from JSON in JavaScript. - Jason ---- Server IP: 216.235.13.26 Probable Submitter: 129.97.120.235 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/96895 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96895/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96895/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96895/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96895/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96895/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96895/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96895 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/96895 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
