#47347 [Opn->Bgs]: Feature request: add 3rd optional argument - the character encoding
ID: 47347

+Status: Bogus
Bug Type: JSON related
PHP Version: 5.2.9RC1
New Comment:
JSON is a core enabled by default module, adding something that can
encode from X to utf-8 will add a dependency and it's not always going
to know what was and wasn't intended.
Consider either using utf-8 in all of your code or base64 encode your
non unicode strings.

Description:
------------
Feature request
As you can see here:
http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php
people are jumping through hoops to encode variables of non-utf8
encodings into JSON format.
Why not just centralize that magic into the function itself as a new
3rd optional argument $encoding that defaults to UTF-8?
Reproduce code:
---------------
n/a
Expected result:
----------------
n/a
Actual result:
--------------
n/a
