Summary: json_decode reports no error while returning NULL
-Status: Assigned
+Status: Closed
Type: Bug
Package: JSON related
Operating System: Linux/Ubuntu
PHP Version: 5.3.2
Assigned To: scottmac
New Comment:
It now correctly returns an error code to indicate an invalid UTF-8
error. The
issue is an incorrectly encoded character around number 21,190.
I suggest you speak to Steam and get them to produce a correctly valid
feed.

That codition in php_json_decode is hit as utf16_len == -2
utf16_len = utf8_to_utf16(utf16, str, str_len);
if (utf16_len <= 0) {
if (utf16) {
efree(utf16);
}
RETURN_NULL();
}

Description:
------------
I'm attempting to use json_decode on a relatively long piece of JSON.
The JSON
is returned successfully by file_get_contents, and is valid according to
JSONLint.
What I expect to happen is for the JSON to be correctly decoded, or NULL
to be
returned and json_last_error to be populated with the reason. For some
reason
NULL is returned and json_last_error remains at 0.
I have a feeling that this could be to do with the length of the file
(containing a large array of objects).
I'm currently using:
ross@ross-laptop:/$ php -v

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$raw =
file_get_contents("http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUserStats/GetGlobalAchievementPercentagesForApp/v0001/?gameid=440");
$decoded = json_decode($raw);
$errors = array(
JSON_ERROR_NONE => "No error has occurred",
JSON_ERROR_DEPTH => "The maximum stack depth has been exceeded",
JSON_ERROR_CTRL_CHAR => "Control character error, possibly
incorrectly encoded",
JSON_ERROR_SYNTAX => "Syntax error",
//JSON_ERROR_UTF8 => "Malformed UTF-8 characters, possibly
incorrectly encoded"
);
var_dump("Raw result:", $raw, "\n\n");
var_dump("Decoded result:", $decoded, "\n\n");
var_dump("JSON errors:", $errors[json_last_error()]);
Expected result:
----------------
Raw result: (long raw json)
Decoded result: object stdClass(1) { (data array) }
JSON errors: string "No error has occurred"
Actual result:
--------------
Raw result: (long raw json)
Decoded result: NULL
JSON errors: string "No error has occurred"
