From: Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.2.14 Package: JSON related Bug Type: Bug 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) "{}" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53291&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53291&r=mysqlcfg
