title: Remove double-quotes from a json_encoded string on the keys
body: <p>I have a json_encoded array which is fine.</p>
  
  <p>I need to strip the double-quotes on all of the keys of the json string on returning it from a function call.</p>
  
  <p>How would I go about doing this and returning it successfully?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
  
  <p>I do apologise, here is a snippet of the json code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{"start_date":"2011-01-01 09:00","end_date":"2011-01-01 10:00","text":"test"}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Just to add a little more info:</p>
  
  <p>I will be retrieving the JSON via an AJAX request, so if it would be easier, I am open to ideas in how to do this on the javascript side.</p>
