You are passing the flag to the $depth parameter, not the $options parameter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-09-09 10:13:00] nick dot kdevil at gmail dot com 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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78515&edit=1
