parse json string with html in it

Question

I am using php to json encode an array and then parse it with jQuery's $.evalJSON()

to use it in the client side

$test = array(
    'Label' => array(
        'id' => '021780000002703007764835',
        'notes' => '<a id="test" href="javascript:void(0)">ici</a>'
    )
);

When encoded to json from php it produces

{"Label":{"id":"021780000002703007764835","notes":"<a id=\"test\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\">ici<\/a>"}}

However, when using the below js code to decode it I get a js error

var test = $.evalJSON('<?= $test; ?>');

When I remove the html markup, it decodes it fine. However, I need the markup and I am sure there is a way to decode it properly.

Any ideas?

Thanks

can you print the instruction once it has been processed by php ? that could be an escaping problem — BiAiB

Try this

 addslashes(json_encode($test));

I have successfully used this in the past for exactly this problem
