Description:
------------
I have some JSON data genereated by GWT that is sent to the PHP server
end.
The JSON data recieved may contain special characters as well, that are
regularly encoded as UTF8 (as required by the JSON specification).
However, I find it impossible to access JSON data containing UTF8
encoded characters, because either utf8_decode or json_decode don't work
as expected.
Reproduce code:
---------------
// this is how the JSON data is "normally" retrieved
//$JSONInput = file_get_contents( "php://input" );
$JSONInput = '{"foo":"\xc3\xb6\xc3\xb6"}';
$decodedJSONData = utf8_decode( $sampleJSONData );
echo "decoded JSON data: ".$decodedJSONData."<br>";
if ( $sampleJSONData == $decodedJSONData ) {
echo "decoded is equal<br>";
}
if ( $sampleJSONData === $decodedJSONData ) {
echo "decoded is binary equal<br>";
}
Expected result:
----------------
I expect utf8_decode to really decode the given data. In the example
from above, it should decode the "\xc3\xb6" part to รค (ä in HTML)
Actual result:
--------------
nothing is decoded at all.
However decoding takes place, if one replaces the double quotes with
single quotes and vice versa in the $JSONInput string.
