Bug description:json_encode throws away array elements with an empty string for
a key
Description:
------------
In 5.2.14, json_encode() silently discards any array values for which the
array
key is an empty string. This seems identical to Bug #41505, but affects PHP
5.2.14.
Demonstration code:
var_dump(json_encode(array("" => array("a" => 1))));
Expect (result in 5.2.6, 5.2.10, 5.2.13, 5.3.2):
string(12) "{"":{"a":1}}"
Receive (in 5.2.14):
string(2) "{}"
Test script:
---------------
var_dump(json_encode(array("" => array("a" => 1))));
Expected result:
----------------
string(12) "{"":{"a":1}}"
Actual result:
--------------
string(2) "{}"
