Bug #81685 [NEW]: Using json_decode with an integer as first parameter doesn't return NULL
From: joaquimsb89 at gmail dot com
Operating system: Debian & Arch
PHP version: 7.4.26
Package: JSON related
Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:Using json_decode with an integer as first parameter doesn't return NULL
Description:
------------
When using the json_decode() function and passing an integer as the
first parameter, or with the strval() function, the return value is the
integer itself instead of an expected NULL, expecting "Syntax error" as
the error description.
Behaviour observed in the following environments:
PHP 7.4.26, debian 10/buster, installed via deb sury repo
PHP 8.0.13, Arch Linux, installed via pacman -S php
PHP 8.1.0, debian 11/bullseye, installed via deb sury repo
Test script:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(json_decode('', true));
var_dump(json_last_error_msg());
echo "\n";
var_dump(json_decode(123, true));
var_dump(json_last_error_msg());
echo "\n";
var_dump(json_decode(strval(123), true));
var_dump(json_last_error_msg());
echo "\n";
var_dump(json_decode('{"a":123}', true));
var_dump(json_last_error_msg());
Expected result:
----------------
NULL
string(12) "Syntax error"
NULL
string(12) "Syntax error"
NULL
string(12) "Syntax error"
array(1) {
["a"]=>
int(123)
}
string(8) "No error"
Actual result:
--------------
NULL
string(12) "Syntax error"
int(123)
string(8) "No error"
int(123)
string(8) "No error"
array(1) {
["a"]=>
int(123)
}
string(8) "No error"
