Retrieve json string stored in mysql field
<p>I have a table, which I need to echo as json to js. Structure is:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/jpViM.gif" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/jpViM.gif" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>How do I get the data as a json string without extra slashes? I'm not interested in processing params in php or manipulating it in a query, it's used for storage of data (which could vary a lot) and will be used in js side. Using a document based db is not an option at this time.</p>

<p>I have problems with "params", as some extra quotes remain if I try to use stripslashes and invalidates json.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?php
...
$statement=$pdo-&gt;prepare("SELECT params FROM content WHERE id = 19");
$statement-&gt;execute();
$results=$statement-&gt;fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$json=json_encode($results);

$json = stripslashes($json);
var_dump ($results);
echo "&lt;br/&gt;";
echo $json;
?&gt;
</code></pre>
