That is helpful to know. So possibly this is isolated to the PHP
json_decode() functionality.
In my case, I get the following JSON decoded string from twitter
(happens to be empty result set):
{"results":[],"since_id":3448308315,"max_id":
3450048057,"refresh_url":"?
since_id=3450048057&q=text","results_per_page":10,"completed_in":
0.034427,"page":1,"query":"text"}
but following its processing by json_decode the since_id and max_id
parameters are not decoded properly:
stdClass Object
(
[results] => Array
(
)
[since_id] => -846658981
[max_id] => -844919239
[refresh_url] => ?since_id=3450048057&q=text
[results_per_page] => 10
[completed_in] => 0.034427
[page] => 1
[query] => text
)
My current solution is to force the encoded return string to change as
follows prior to json_decode:
"since_id":"3448308315","max_id":"3450048057"
^ ^ ^ ^
But this is not a great fix.
