Hi

When I have a problem when I use php view function

Here is the problem, if I want to select something like startkey=['apple', null]&endkey=['apple', "\u0fff"]

I can easily type this in couchbase web filter and sure it gives me what I want (I want select all results).

But, if I write this in php code

$cb->view("task", "apple", array('startkey'=>['apple', null], 'endkey'=>['apple', '\u0fff']));

It returned nothing!!

then I tried this

echo urldecode($cb->viewGenQuery("task", "task_apple", array('startkey'=>['apple', null], 'endkey'=>['apple', '\u0fff'])));

result:

/_design/task/_view/task_apple?startkey=["apple",null]&endkey=["apple","\\u0fff"]

turns out it adds an extra slash there, how do I solve this problem? thanks....

Since the input array itself becomes serialized to JSON, as a consequence any character which is "special" to JSON is escaped as well. I am guessing the only way you can get the effect of \u0fff is to place a literal one inside the string. Hopefully PHP's json encoding will do the trick.

You can also disable smart serialization of parameters (via OPT_PASSTHROUGH) - which means that instead of passing an array to 'startkey' it would need to be an already-serialized JSON array
