how to turn off or prevent php glob from escaping back slashes?

with this php code:

<? header('Content-type: application/json'); ?>
<?
 $files = glob("sources/".$_GET['dir'].'/img/*');
  echo json_encode($files);
?>

I'm getting:

 ["sources\/nine\/img\/0010.jpg","sources\/nine\/img\/0011.jpg"]

But i want:

 ["sources/nine/img/0010.jpg","sources/nine/img/0011.jpg"]
Solution

  • Actually, this is not glob(), this is json_encode()'s doing and it's perfectly okay: It's escaping slashes as suggested by the JSON standard. See this php.net bug report for further discussion.
