From: nick dot kdevil at gmail dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 7.3.9 Package: JSON related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR doesn't throw an exception Description: ------------ I was under the impression, that if i have a json_last_error, that if the flag JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR is set, i will get an exception. In the example below json_last_error would return 4, but no exception is thrown. Test script: --------------- json_decode('test',true,JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR); Expected result: ---------------- The appropriate exception is thrown Actual result: -------------- NULL is being returned -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78515&edit=1 -- Fix committed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78515&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78515&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78515&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78515&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78515&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78515&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78515&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78515&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78515&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78515&r=globals PHP version support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78515&r=phptooold Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78515&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78515&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78515&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78515&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78515&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78515&r=mysqlcfg
