how to pass json encode to javascript in PHP?

Question

i want to encode a json because it contains special characters

I try to use simple urlencode but it doesn't work. When I print the variable in alert on the js is empty

$sql="select name,surname from agents";
$res = $conn->query($sql);
while($row = $res->fetch_assoc()) 
{
   $rows[] = $row;
}
$json = json_encode($rows);
echo urlencode($json);

What are you trying to achieve by doing this? If you are trying to create a javascript variable then you don't need to do this. You can just use var agents = <?=$json?>; — frobinsonj

If you want to json encode you need to set response header to application/json and unicode escaped

header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($rows, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);

If you want to show the contents of a json encoded array in javascript, you first need to decode it:

var array = JSON.parse(json_string);

Next you can iterate over the array and display it's contents.
