Re: Re: json_encode() behavior and the browser

What I don't understand is how json_encode() is taking the *exact same input* and behaving differently (breaking in one case, working in another) depending on the browser being used. And taking your statement that json_encode() works only in utf-8 as a given, how can I guard against the different behaviors on the backend, where json_encode() is getting executed. Should I do some kind of header sniffing prior to every call to json_encode() and massage the data accordingly depending on what I find? That seems somewhat excessive. But based on what you are saying and based on what I'm witnessing, it seems like there is no other way around that. thnx, Christoph
