Description: ------------ If a key in an array starts with the null byte, json_encode ignores that key=>value pair. This seems wrong because json_encode doesn't care about null bytes anywhere in the value (and neither does javascript, about keys or values). Reproduce code: --------------- //works as expected: echo json_encode(array(0,"a\0b"=>1,"\0null-prefixed value")); echo "\n\n"; //ignores second element whose key begins with null byte: echo json_encode(array(0,"\0ab"=>1,"\0null-prefixed value")); Expected result: ---------------- {"0":0,"a\0b":1,"1":"\0null-prefixed value"} {"0":0,"\0ab":1,"1":"\0null-prefixed value"} // \0 represents an actual null byte here Actual result: -------------- {"0":0,"a\0b":1,"1":"\0null-prefixed value"} {"0":0,"1":"\0null-prefixed value"} // \0 represents an actual null byte here -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41034&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41034&r=mysqlcfg
