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.

Answer 1

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

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