[FIXED] php json_encode not escaping new lines

Issue

I am facing some issue with json_encode.

when i json_encode an array having new lines it is not escaping new lines instead it's removing \ and keeping n.

ex: $array = array('name'=> "some text \n\r text");
$results = json_encode($array);

it is saving some text nr text in database .

i am using php 5.3.8.

edit:

This is my original code i am using

$attr = array();
for($i=0; $i < count($_POST['key']); $i++){
    $attr[$_POST['key'][$i]] = $_POST['value'][$i];
}
echo json_encode(array('custom' => $attr));

these POST values getting from form.

Solution

I figured out this issue. it is not in json_encode problem. it is an error while saving to database.

The problem is magic_quotes_gpc enabled in server. in my application if magic_quotes enabled i am striping the slashes.

i disabled magic_quotes_gpc. working fine now.

Thanks for every body.
