ID: 42270 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: steven dot mccoy at miru dot hk -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: JSON related Operating System: Ubuntu 7.04 PHP Version: 5.2.4RC1-dev New Comment:
Here's what I get for the encode: {"first":[{"second":2},"two","three"]} So actually you have another object inside the first, here's var_dump($obj); object(stdClass)#1 (1) { ["first"]=> array(3) { [0]=> object(stdClass)#2 (1) { ["second"]=> int(2) } [1]=> string(3) "two" [2]=> string(5) "three" } } And using json_decode($json, true): array(1) { ["first"]=> array(3) { [0]=> array(1) { ["second"]=> int(2) } [1]=> string(3) "two" [2]=> string(5) "three" } } So what's the bug?

Does this mean that I can only use arrays ( json_decode($json, true) ), and have to update all code appropriately? Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $array = array( "first" => array(array("second" => 2), "two", "three"), ); $json = json_encode($array); $obj = json_decode($json); var_dump(array_diff($array,$obj->first)); ?> Expected result: ---------------- array(1) { ["first"]=> array(3) { [0]=> array(1) { ["second"]=> int(2) } [1]=> string(3) "two" [2]=> string(5) "three" } } Actual result: -------------- Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /tmp/- on line 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42270&edit=1
