Question

String (JSON): {"title":"\"Copper\""}

I have tried

$output = str_replace('\\"', "", $output);

but I got

{"title":""      Copper""}

What I expect

{"title":"Copper"}

Answer 1

Are you generating the JSON string with your own code (as opposed to getting it from a third-party)? If so, post the code which generates the JSON string and detail what you have done to this point to try and resolve the problem.

If you don’t have control over the JSON string (and/or the creator of the JSON string will not/cannot fix it), then a hacky way to fix it would be:

$output = str_replace( '\"' , '' , $output );
