Data having commas creating problem in json

I am developing a web applications where users are allowed to enter some text. To cre开发者_Python百科ate profile, I am using the text entered by users which is saved in database. Problem is, if the data entered by user contains a comma, it is spoiling my page as a json string can't contain a comma. Is there any encoding function in php for supporting commas in json.

Note: Am using zend framework's zend encoding function to encode json.

Solved: I got the solution of this problem, json encoding function of zend framework have some issues with encoding decimal data and comma and that was the reason it was creating problem. I used php's own json encode function.

Did you try json_encode ?

Works well for me:

<?php

$str = "my string.";

$json_str = json_encode($str);

echo $json_str . "\n";

Gives:

"my string."

Yes it can use any character.

$json = json_encode($your_array_or_string);

I'd say that as long as you encapsulate your data with either ' or ", it won't parse the , as an actual separator. Use json_encode() as @Patrik MARIE stated above, and you won't be in the need of manually quoting everything!
