note 110522 added to function.json-decode

Do not rely on json_decode to validate your JSON. The following JSON string was decoded incorrectly when I would've expected it to throw an error... { "request": { "filterBy": "MCC" //missing a comma "startDate": "Sun, 02 Sep 2012 12:51:44 -0400", "endDate": "Tue, 02 Oct 2012 00:00:00 -0400" } } Item was decoded as... array( "request" => array( "filterBy" => "Sun, 02 Sep 2012 12:51:44 -0400", "endDate" => "Tue, 02 Oct 2012 00:00:00 -0400" ) ) Notice there's no start date ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 74.143.144.100 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/110522 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110522/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110522/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110522/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110522/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110522/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110522/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110522 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/110522 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
