Note Submitter: jakemayer dot at at gmail dot com ---- Concerning aeternuslibertas at gmail dot com's message: Well, actually it's not safe to check for <?php json_decode($input_json) == NULL ?> since the JSON string can actually be null, but one can use this snippet <?php json_decode($input_json); if(json_last_error()==JSON_ERROR_SYNTAX) { // error Handling } ?> This seems to be the more safe way as it uses the builtin JSON functions to check if a syntax error has occured during decoding the value in question.
