Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65499&edit=1 ID: 65499 Comment by: remi@php.net Reported by: m dot kurzyna at crystalpoint dot pl Summary: json_decode reports invalid literal as valid JSON Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: JSON related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.5.2 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: As Fedora, Ubuntu and some other Linux distributions have switch to JSONC extension, you can report this strictness change in https://github.com/remicollet/pecl-json-c/issues?state=open Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-22 15:16:32] m dot kurzyna at crystalpoint dot pl I'm at Ubuntu. I've built current master (from git) and also didn't reproduce this behaviour so just as you suggest - it seems to be packagers problem. I will report to Ubuntu maintainers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-22 11:34:15] yohgaki@php.net It seems my fedora 19 x86_64 does this, while my PHP-5.5 branch don't on the same machine. It seems packager's issue. $ php <?php var_dump( json_decode("9af5"), json_last_error() ); int(9) int(0) [yohgaki@dev PHP-5.5]$ ./php-bin <?php var_dump( json_decode("9af5"), json_last_error() ); NULL int(4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-22 11:24:39] remi@php.net What is the return of php -r 'echo phpversion("json");' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-22 11:22:19] mike@php.net Cannot reproduce. Do you use Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora? Report there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-22 08:15:54] m dot kurzyna at crystalpoint dot pl To be more precise - introduced regression casts the string to integer so technically it takes all first digits just like (int)"123abc" would do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
