remove quote on echo json_encode();

Question

 $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $tableName WHERE id=1");               
 $array = mysql_fetch_array($result); 
 $help_name = $array['name'];
 $req =   $array['req'];
 //fetch result    

 echo json_encode($help_name);

Problem is I'm getting the result with double quotes, how to remove the double quotes

Try trim in php

<?php 
$name = "Aman";
$str = json_encode($name);
echo trim($str, '"');  // output : Aman
