html rendering inside array_push

Question

I am trying to pass html (image tag) inside an array_push:

array_push($result, array("id"=>$value, "label"=>'<img src="images/image.jpg" alt="">'.$value, "value"=>strip_tags($key)));

The problem is that the html is rendered in the page like this:

&lt;img src="images/image.jpg" alt=""&gt;

so I get just text:

<img src="images/image.jpg" alt="">

instead of an image.

I process the array $result with json_encode:

echo json_encode($result);

@Alp - I echo the $result through an array_to_json function: echo array_to_json($result); — Yannis, Mar 15 '12 at 20:25
You HTML encoded it somewhere. Make a testcase please. You don't seem to have narrowed down the issue at all. — Lightness Races in Orbit, Mar 15 '12 at 20:35
I'm sure you know this, but there is already a `json_encode` function in PHP — thetaiko, Mar 15 '12 at 20:39
No @thetaiko, I didn't know that. I will use this now. Thanx. — Yannis, Mar 15 '12 at 20:54

You are probably using something like htmlentities() or addslashes() in your render function. Without, it should work.

Apparently, array_push() is converting HTML entities similar to the htmlentities() function. I've never looked into that behavior before, but a simple solution would be when you pop the HTML data from you array, process it with html_entity_decode() before output.

-1: No, `array_push` does not do that. And you should fix the problem, not mask it after-the-fact. – Lightness Races in Orbit Mar 15 '12 at 20:36
