Description:
------------
When using json_encode for strings with HTML tag, end tag gets HTML
encoded but the start tag is left alone 



Test script:
---------------
echo json_encode(array('test' => '<b>Bold</b>'));

Expected result:
----------------
{"test":"<b>Bold</b>"}



This is valid JSON as per http://www.jslint.com/

Actual result:
--------------
{"test":"<b>Bold&lt;\/b&gt;"}
