Description: ------------ It would be great to have a option for json_encode which make possible to keep non-ascii character "as such" in strings (and not \uxxxx), which is the case for example with mozilla's JSON.stringify. json.org states string can have "any-Unicode-character-except-"-or-\-or-control-character" Test script: --------------- $str = "test accentué"; echo json_encode($str); gives "test accentu\u00e9" Expected result: ---------------- "test accentué" Actual result: -------------- "test accentu\u00e9" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53946&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53946&r=mysqlcfg
