json_encode not working with a html string as value

Question

I am debugging this ajax for quite a time now. I have this on my jQUery file: ``` $("#typeForm").ajaxForm({ success : function(html){ alert(html); }).submit(); ``` This calls service.php, and within it I have this: ``` $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data()); $str = "

Nachricht empfangen!

"; echo json_encode(array('file_name' => $data['upload_data']['file_name'], 'prompt' => $str)); ``` This won't work. But by replacing `$str` to `$str = "HELLO WORLD";` the jQuery alerts what should I expected. What seems to be the problem? EDIT: Here is a screenie of the output: It does alerts, but if I modify my jQuery into this: ``` $("#typeForm").ajaxForm({ success : function(html){ var obj = $.parseJSON(html); alert(obj); }).submit(); ``` Then it does nothing at all, even alerting. I did a var_dump on the `json_encode` and here is the dump, it looks like a malform…

Accepted Answer

I was having same problem with `json_encode` today. But after testing a lot I found the correct solution:

In PHP to encode the array or string:

```
json_encode($array, JSON_HEX_QUOT | JSON_HEX_TAG);
```

In JS to decode the same:

```
var d = $.parseJSON(content);
```
