PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related
Bug description: stdClass could not be converted to string
Description:
------------
This might be related to bug 41221, upgrading from PHP 5.1.6-1 (Debian) to
5.2.1 (Ubuntu) created a regression in handling output of JSON decoding.
Does this mean that I can only use arrays ( json_decode($json, true) ),
and have to update all code appropriately?
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$array = array(
"first" => array(array("second" => 2), "two", "three"),
);
$json = json_encode($array);
$obj = json_decode($json);
var_dump(array_diff($array,$obj->first));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
array(1) {
["first"]=>
array(3) {
[0]=>
array(1) {
["second"]=>
int(2)
}
[1]=>
string(3) "two"
[2]=>
string(5) "three"
}
}
Actual result:
--------------
Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to
string in /tmp/- on line 7
