JSON formatting

  • New lines aren't parse by jQuery function $.parseJSON(). To correct this replace the printed string at the back-end:
  • Don't use addslashes()
Back-end 
$strVar=preg_replace("/(\n|\r)/",'\n',$strVar);
echo '"placeholder_id:"'.$strVar.'"';exit;
Front-end 
$.post("http://www.your-url.com",{ "param": "param-value"},function(data)
  {
  var obj = $.parseJSON(data);
  
  if(obj)
    {
    $('#placeholder_dom_element').html(obj.placeholder_id);
    }
  }
