Has nothing to do with jQuery directly, but there's alot of really
great developers here, so maybe I'm missing something that someone
else will catch...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[json.js]
{
"itemtitle1": function(){
alert("this is item title 1's callback");
},
"itemtitle2": function(){
alert("this is item title 2");
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This works great in Javascript- exactly how I want it
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mainscript.js
$.getJSON("json.js",{},
function(json) {
json.itemtitle1(); // fires the alert for itemtitle1
}
);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem arises when I use the same json.js in my PHP script
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mainpage.php
$json=json_decode(file_get_contents('json.js'),1);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that if I change the function in json.js to a string of text or a
boolean etc., then the php file works fine- for some reason it's not
parsing my javascript function, even though that works [because JSON
is an object, my json.js has a function named itemtitle1. I don't
expect PHP to run or convert my function, but I need to be able to use
json.js in my php script.
Any ideas? Is this invalid JSON, even though it's valid javascript,
or is it json_encode()'s fault?
