Get php to output Json with out quotes so that javascript will see it as a object -

here problem having able output javascript object

{     id : "title",     name : "title",     field : "title",     width : 200,     cssclass : "cell-title",     editor : slick.editors.text } 

notice editor : slick.editors.text not in quotes of kind.

i can output this... can't seem php not put quotes around slick.editor.text

{"id":"title","name":"title","field":"title","width":200,"cssclass":"cell-title","editor":"slick.editors.text"} 

here php code using output string.

public function creatcolumn($id, $name, $field, $width, $cssclass, $editor = null) {     $obj = (object) array('id'=>$id, 'name'=>$name, 'field'=>$field, 'width'=>$width, 'cssclass'=> $cssclass, 'editor' => $editor);     return json_encode($obj); } 

is there way output php json object php doesn't quote string?

it's little hacky, do:

public function creatcolumn($id, $name, $field, $width, $cssclass, $editor = null) {   $obj = (object) array('id'=>$id, 'name'=>$name, 'field'=>$field, 'width'=>$width, 'cssclass'=> $cssclass);   $json = json_encode($obj);   return str_replace('}', '"editor":'.$editor.' }', $json); }
