curl post Json with addslashes

Question

I need:

$content = "{\"data1\":90,\"data2\":\"SUKAORU\",\"data3\":7483478334}";
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $content);

I did:

   $_REQUEST = array("data1"=>90,"data2"=>"SUKAORU,"data3"=>7483478334);

    $content1 = '"' . addslashes(json_encode($_REQUEST)) . '"';
    curl_setopt_array($curl, array(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $content1);

//or
    $content1 = addslashes(json_encode($_REQUEST));
    curl_setopt_array($curl, array(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $content1);

//or
    $content1 = json_encode($_REQUEST);
    curl_setopt_array($curl, array(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $content1);

$content and $content1 looks identically:

But second version returns error from server "unable to decode request".

How can I ecranate array into JSON like in I need example?

Why not `curl_setopt_array($curl, array(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => json_encode($content));` — JustOnUnderMillions, Apr 04 '17 at 13:35
`$_REQUEST = array` — Don't overwrite `$_REQUEST`. If you want a variable to store your own data in, create a new one. — Quentin, Apr 04 '17 at 13:36

Is it a typing mistake `"data2"=>"SUKAORU,"`? It should be "data2"=>"SUKAORU", — Rahi, Apr 04 '17 at 13:38

Don't use addslashes. Just don't use it.

The slashes here:

$content = "{\"data1\":90,\"data2\":\"SUKAORU\",\"data3\":7483478334}";

… are only part of the PHP source code. They are not part of the data.

If you're generating the JSON using json_encode then you don't need to manually write \" to get quotes into the " delimited string literal. You don't have a string literal and json_encode is generating the quotes.

This should be fine.

$data = array("data1"=>90,"data2"=>"SUKAORU","data3"=>7483478334);
$json = json_encode($data);
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $json);

Note addition of missing " after "SUKAORU.

you are right, I think it was server temporarily problem, my previous code now works fine, still don't know why `json_encode($_REQUEST,JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK);` — San Ya, Apr 04 '17 at 13:44
