From: don at smugmug dot com Operating system: CentOS 5.3 PHP version: 5.3.0 PHP Bug Type: JSON related Bug description: json_encode incorrectly escapes slashes (/)
Description: ------------ When given a string with slashes in it, despite the JSON docs suggesting that's legal, json_encode escapes them anyway. http://www.json.org/ says "any-Unicode-character-except-"-or-\-or control-character" JSONLint at http://www.jsonlint.com/ also validates slashes that aren't escaped as valid. This adds response weight, and makes further processing much more complex. Reproduce code: --------------- $vars['url'] = "http://www.example.com/";; echo json_encode($vars); Expected result: ---------------- {"url":"http://www.example.com/"} Actual result: -------------- {"url":"http:\/\/www.example.com\/"} -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49366&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49366&r=mysqlcfg
