PHP Bug Type: JSON related
Bug description: json_decode: escape characters
Description:
------------
When a single quote is being escaped, the json_decode() gives some
unexpected results.
1. According to the JSON specs, the single quote is not in the list of
characters that can follow the escape character (such as n, t, b, r, etc.);
however, JavaScript does recognize the single quote so it would be very
nice to have as a feature.
2. When wrapping a string with an escaped single quote inside an array
context, the json_decode() gives up and returns NULL.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$s = '"Sir, you\\\'re an idiot!"';
var_dump(json_decode($s));
var_dump(json_decode("[$s]"));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
string(21) "Sir, you're an idiot!"
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(21) "Sir, you're an idiot!"
}
Actual result:
--------------
string(22) "Sir, you\'re an idiot!"
NULL
