在json中转义html元素

Question

I try to put scrapped html content and turn it into json. Below is my invalid output:

{
    "item": {
        "title": "Take a look back at 2014’s biggest series A funding rounds across Asia (INFOGRAPHIC)",
        "desc": "Where's the money flowing for earlier stage startups? By narrowing down the playing field to A rounds, you can get an idea (hint: China and ecommerce).",
        "link": "https://www.example.com/asia-biggest-series-a-rounds-2014/",
        "content": "<p>2014 was a banner year for Asia’s startup ecosystem at large. The year saw some of the <a href=\\\"https://www.example.com/flipkart-wants-to-be-alibaba-with-1-billion-dollars/\\\">biggest tech investments</a> the region has ever seen, a <a href=\\\"https://www.example.com/alibaba-ipo-starts-93-dollars-per-share/\\\">blockbuster exit</a>, and the rise of <a href=\\\"https://www.example.com/rakuten-just-launched-a-100m-fund-for-startups-interview-saemin-ahn/\\\">Silicon Valley-level funds</a> by Asian investors.</p>
<p>Every country in Asia seems to have a flagship startup that dominates the headlines, but it’s difficult to compare the ecosystem at large against its star player (or players). To even the playing field and get a better idea of where the investment money is flowing, we dug into the <em>Tech in Asia</em> archives to nail down each country’s biggest series A round in 2014. By narrowing the field to series A funding exclusively, you can get an idea of where younger startups are getting the most support and what verticals are attracting the most VC attention.</p>
<p>Please note that the following data is for <em>disclosed</em> investments only. While some startups very well may have attracted larger sums, it’s left to pure speculation if the amount hasn’t been made public. If you’re aware of a larger A round for any of the nine countries listed &#8211; or for a country in Asia that didn’t make it on this list &#8211; please let us know in the comments section below.</p>

This is what I've tried

$myArray["item"]["content"] = addcslashes($item_content,'"');
echo json_encode($myArray, true);

I also tried htmlentities() but doesn't work.

Answer 1

You don't want addcslashes; json_encode will handle that where necessary. Also, json_encode doesn't take true as a second argument. Simply:

$myArray["item"]["content"] = $item_content;
echo json_encode($myArray);

...or add a number as a second argument to json_encode if you want formatting.
