#50950 [NEW]: json_encode null some special chars

From: schlapn at mail dot 3dl dot am Operating system: Windows PHP version: 5.3.1 PHP Bug Type: JSON related Bug description: json_encode null some special chars Description: ------------ Hi, I got the following array and want to enode it to json format: print_r($hier); ------ ["ID"]=> int(254) ["XYID"]=> int(4) ["Inhalt"]=> string(127) "@hallowas geht " ["Name"]=> string(4) "falti" ["Datum"]=> string(19) "2010-02-06 17:57:54" ["Gruß"]=> string(14) "TOOTO|§§|MOOTO" ["Affe"] => string (4) "Pans" ------ but the result was print_r(json_encode($hier)); ---- {"ID":254,"XYID":4,"Inhalt":"@hallowas geht ","Name":"falti","Datum":"2010-02-06 17:57:54","Gruß":null,"Affe":"Pans"} --- As you can see the string with the '§' char results a null in the encoded JSON. I uses the option Paramters (JSON_HEX_TAG|JSON_HEX_APOS|JSON_HEX_QUOT|JSON_HEX_AMP) but nothing solved the problem, when I used other chars instead it worked properly. I saw someone having this Problem on a Linux and MacOs Machine with PHP 5.3 but the bug is still there on Windows machines with PHP 5.3.1 Reproduce code: --------------- print_r($hier); ------ ["ID"]=> int(254) ["XYID"]=> int(4) ["Inhalt"]=> string(127) "@hallowas geht " ["Name"]=> string(4) "falti" ["Datum"]=> string(19) "2010-02-06 17:57:54" ["Gruß"]=> string(14) "TOOTO|§§|MOOTO" ["Affe"] => string (4) "Pans" ------ results: print_r(json_encode($hier)); ---- {"ID":254,"XYID":4,"Inhalt":"@hallowas geht ","Name":"falti","Datum":"2010-02-06 17:57:54","Gruß":null,"Affe":"Pans"} --- Expected result: ---------------- print_r($hier); ------ ["ID"]=> int(254) ["XYID"]=> int(4) ["Inhalt"]=> string(127) "@hallowas geht " ["Name"]=> string(4) "falti" ["Datum"]=> string(19) "2010-02-06 17:57:54" ["Gruß"]=> string(14) "TOOTO|§§|MOOTO" ["Affe"] => string (4) "Pans" ------ but the result was print_r(json_encode($hier)); ---- {"ID":254,"XYID":4,"Inhalt":"@hallowas geht ","Name":"falti","Datum":"2010-02-06 17:57:54","Gruß":"TOOTO|§§|MOOTO","Affe":"Pans"} --- Actual result: -------------- print_r(json_encode($hier)); ---- {"ID":254,"XYID":4,"Inhalt":"@hallowas geht ","Name":"falti","Datum":"2010-02-06 17:57:54","Gruß":null,"Affe":"Pans"} --- -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50950&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50950&r=mysqlcfg
