Note Submitter: http://mike.eire.ca/ ---- Note that this function does not always produce legal JSON. <?php $json = json_encode('foo'); var_dump($json); //string(5) ""foo"" $json = json_encode(23); var_dump($json); //string(2) "23" ?> According to the JSON spec, only objects and arrays can be represented; the JSON_FORCE_OBJECT flag available since PHP 5.3 does not change this behaviour. If you're using this to produce JSON that will be exchanged with other systems, adjust your output accordingly. <?php $json = preg_replace('/^([^[{].*)$/', '[$1]', $json); ?> The json_decode function accepts these JSON fragments without complaint.
