[RESOLVED] File Output

nikkic

I am trying to output some data to a file which is fine. The data is set as a variable $data as follows:-

$data ="{ 
"method":"dad_data", 
"ver":"1.2", 
"dad_id":"RKDAD__02323", 
"data":[ 
{"id":"324344445","period":"2011-05-18T08:30","value":".$v1."}, 
{"id":"354555542","period":"2011-05-18T08:30","value":".$v2."} 
] 
}";

If a simple echo is used then the " and line breaks are shown but when the output is sent to a file it shows and ".

Simple question is how do I get " and a line break in the output file?

This is the code I am using to produce the output file.

$ob_file = fopen('test.json','w');

function ob_file_callback($buffer)
{
global $ob_file;
fwrite($ob_file,$buffer);
}

$ob_file = fopen('test.json','w');

ob_start('ob_file_callback');

// Output now will go to test.txt
echo $data;

ob_end_flush();

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Just to let you know I have resolved this by using the following code :-

$ob_file = fopen('test.json','w');

function ob_file_callback($buffer)
{
global $ob_file;
fwrite($ob_file,$buffer);
}

$ob_file = fopen('test.json','w');

ob_start('ob_file_callback');

$a = htmlentities($data);

$b = html_entity_decode($a, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');

// Output now will go to test.json
echo $b;

ob_end_flush();

and the follwoing change to $data:-

$data ="{

\"method\":\"dad_data\",
\"ver\":\"1.2\",
\"dad_id\":\"RKDAD__02323\",
\"data\":[
{\"id\":\"324344445\",\"period\":\"2011-05-18T08:30\",\"value\":".$v1."},
{\"id\":\"354555542\",\"period\":\"2011-05-18T08:30\",\"value\":".$v2."}
]
}";

Just in case anyone else needs this 🙂
