PHP Version: 5.2.4
New Comment:
1. "Fixing" this would violate the JSON spec. HEAD (aka PHP 6) also
behaves the same way now as other branches.
2. NULL is returned whenever you pass invalid data to json_decode().

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
