Bug #73223 [NEW]: json_encode() returns false when depth is 1 and a complex object is provided
From: jimmymasaru at gmail dot com
Operating system: macOS
PHP version: 5.6.26
Package: *General Issues
Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:json_encode() returns false when depth is 1 and a complex object is provided
Description:
------------
I use json_encode() with a depth (usually 1) to trim complex objects in
some test cases in order to do comparisons.
But it returns false now if the object being encoded contains a member
which is an object.
I have to set the depth to 2 but it means it doesn't trim like what I
did before.
But I'm not sure if this bug is related to PHP 5.6.26. It might have
been introduced in earlier versions.
Test script:
---------------
class Person
{
public $name;
public $age;
public $role;
}
class Role
{
public $name;
}
$person = new Person();
$person->name = 'Name';
$person->age = 20;
$person->role = new Role();
$jsonObj = json_encode($person, 0, 1);
// $jsonObj === false
Expected result:
----------------
{"name":"Name","age":20,"role":null}
Actual result:
--------------
false
