Doc #52622 [NEW]: Mention that JSON must be UTF-8 encoded

From: Operating system: PHP version: 5.2.14 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Mention that JSON must be UTF-8 encoded Description: ------------ I had a problem with json_decode() that it returned NULL via _GET even though the JSON was valid. Turns out that the JSON string has to be UTF-8 encoded (thanks to the commenter). This should be mentioned in the docs in the parameter breakdown. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52622&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52622&r=mysqlcfg
