JSON String format

Question

I'm saving JSON string (using javascript's JSON.stringify) via Ajax call to a php script that write this string into a file i.e.

<?php

    $msg = $_GET['hecdata'];

    if (strlen($msg) > 0)
    {
        $file = fopen("hecdata.txt","w");
        fwrite($file,$msg);
        fclose($file);

        echo "True";        
    }
    else
    {
        echo "False";               
    }

?>

but the problem is the format of JSON become:

[{\"customerName\":\"Customer 1\",\"contactNumber\":\"03001234567\",\"hallName\":\"4\",\"bookingDate\":\"09/30/2013\"}]

which is not correct, I am new to php, is this how we should save a json string into a text file?

What @deceze said. You have magic quotes enabled on your server, which is escaping all the quotes. This has nothing to do with JavaScript, JSON or any of the PHP code you've shown :p — Niet the Dark Absol

It would, indeed, appear to be a magic-quotes issue, which you should disable ASAP — Elias Van Ootegem

try below code:

$msg = stripslashes($msg);

and then write it to file. Refer http://php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php

JSON is correct, you have extra brace "}" on this string
