accessing an object property that contains forward slashes

Question

I have created JSON by using the `json_encode` PHP function. The key of one of the items of the array contains a forward slash and when the JSON is parsed, the object looks like this when output in Chrome's console. ``` Object contact/allow_anonymous: "0" menulayout: "horizontal" pages/max_pages: "10" primarycolour: "329e95" websitelogo: "text" ``` My problem is that I can't seem to be able to access the value of the properties that have a forward slash in them. Any ideas? Since javascript allowed me to create the object I would assume there is a way to retrieve the values.

Accepted Answer

Just use `myObject["key"]` instead of `myObject.key`:

```
alert(myObject["contact/allow_anonymous"]);
```
