Question

Well I’m getting a json encoded with PHP plain text and its coming like this
how do I get the html parsed with PHP, is there any function to do this?

This is how I get: class=\"timestamp\">test\u003c\/abbr> \u003cspan class

This is how its supposed to be: class="timestamp">test</abbr> <span class

Thank you in advance!

We have a few duplicate questions on how to use preg_preplace('#\\u[a-f0-9]{4}#)) and mb_convert_encoding to convert the \u1234 Unicode escapes. But can’t find it..

But in your case you also have other quotes backslashed, why it would be possible to use this lazy appraoch:

 $string = json_decode('"' . $string . '"');
