note 99837 added to function.json-encode

This may help others who are seeing null strings returned by json_encode(). This function will encode all array values to utf8 so they are safe for json_encode(); usage: json_encode(utf8json($dataArray)); function utf8json($inArray) { static $depth = 0; /* our return object */ $newArray = array(); /* safety recursion limit */ $depth ++; if($depth >= '30') { return false; } /* step through inArray */ foreach($inArray as $key=>$val) { if(is_array($val)) { /* recurse on array elements */ $newArray[$key] = utf8json($inArray); } else { /* encode string values */ $newArray[$key] = utf8_encode($val); } } /* return utf8 encoded array */ return $newArray; } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 86.152.13.147 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/99837 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99837/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99837/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99837/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99837/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99837/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99837/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99837 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/99837 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
