curl post Json with addslashes

Question

I need:

$content = "{\"data1\":90,\"data2\":\"SUKAORU\",\"data3\":7483478334}";
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $content);

I did:

   $_REQUEST = array("data1"=>90,"data2"=>"SUKAORU,"data3"=>7483478334);

    $content1 = '"' . addslashes(json_encode($_REQUEST)) . '"';
    curl_setopt_array($curl, array(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $content1);

//or
    $content1 = addslashes(json_encode($_REQUEST));
    curl_setopt_array($curl, array(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $content1);

//or
    $content1 = json_encode($_REQUEST);
    curl_setopt_array($curl, array(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $content1);

$content and $content1 looks identically:

But second version returns error from server "unable to decode request".

How can I ecranate array into JSON like in I need example?

Answer 1

Don't use addslashes . Just don't use it.

The slashes here:

 $content = "{\\"data1\\":90,\\"data2\\":\\"SUKAORU\\",\\"data3\\":7483478334}"; 

… are only part of the PHP source code . They are not part of the data.

If you're generating the JSON using json_encode then you don't need to manually write \\" to get quotes into the " delimited string literal. You don't have a string literal and json_encode is generating the quotes.

This should be fine.

$data = array("data1"=>90,"data2"=>"SUKAORU","data3"=>7483478334);
$json = json_encode($data);
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $json);

Note addition of missing " after "SUKAORU .
