how to echo value without backslash inside with json_encode [duplicate]

Question

when i want to echo data from json with a / in it, it puts a backslash for the /.

How to remove the backslash?

This:

$data = [ "actualdir" => "uploads/aaa" ]; echo json_encode($data);

gives me this as output:

{"actualdir":"uploads\/aaa"}

And it should be:

{"actualdir":"uploads/aaa"}

How can i achieve this?

You can try using the JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES option for json_encode - viz:

echo json_encode( $data, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES );

Many other additional options are available - read more at PHP.net
