如何在php中用双引号和斜杠清理json字符串

Question

I have problem with json string in php. I have an app the get user contacts and send it to server and I process contacts in my way.

the problem is that some contacts name are very wired and some error occurred while using json_decode() contacts like this

[
   {"displayName":"Altin"'''''"''''"""""
\""\p chapar","phoneNumbers":[{"value":"0411*******"}]},
   {"displayName":"A""""""basi","phoneNumbers":[{"value":"0914******"}]}
]

how can I clean this dirty json string to work properly? I've tried to remove """ and \\// but I saw a huge amount of errors

thanks

try this

    $result = str_split($contacts);

    for ($i = 0; $i < count($result); $i++)
    {
        $found = false;

        if ($result[$i] == '"')
        {
            if ($result[$i + 1] != ':' && $result[$i + 1] != ',' 
                && $result[$i - 1] != '{' && $result[$i - 1] != '"' 
                    && $result[$i + 1] != '}' && $result[$i - 1] != ':' 
                        && $result[$i - 1] != ',')
                $result[$i] = '';
        }
    }

    $edited = implode("", $result);
    $edited = str_replace("'" , '' , $edited);
    $edited = str_replace("\\" , '' , $edited);
    $edited = str_replace("
" , '' , $edited);
    print_r(json_decode($edited));

this will replace all inner double quotes so the string will be clean for the json_decode to produce std_objects.
