Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-06-25 14:53:30] nevil85 at gmail dot com You are correct. The bug is available only in a PHP distro, that came with Ubuntu 14 LTS OS. Version: PHP Version 5.5.9-1ubuntu4 System: Linux <user> 3.13.0-29-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP <time> x86_64 Build Date: Apr 9 2014 17:08:00 Thanks guys. I really appreciate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-06-23 22:04:02] aharvey@php.net How did you get PHP in the first place — did you compile it from source, or are you using packages? If the latter, which distribution are you on? I'm wondering if this is an issue with one of the distros that are replacing ext/json for licensing reasons. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-06-23 17:30:56] requinix@php.net Works for me. http://3v4l.org/HuGvq ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-06-23 13:29:44] nevil85 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.json-decode --- json_decode accepts wrong strings without syntax error and still decodes <?php echo json_decode("2014-06-06"); echo json_last_error(); ?> The above code snippet returns 20140.
