 New Comment:

I don't see how this behavior would be a bug.  You explicitly
specified the JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK flag, and the result is valid
JSON.

Description:
------------
json_encode() with JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK needs a way to encode strings as numbers WITHOUT converting
them to float first. You just can't use money types and pass them with the built in
json_encode() feature. I've looked all over and there is no solution except to create my own
json_encode() which will bear performance issues compared to the built-in method.

Test script:
---------------
echo json_encode(['x'=>'0.00000001'], JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK)."\n";


Expected result:
----------------
{"x":0.00000001}





Actual result:
--------------
{"x":1.0e-8}
