If you save the code in a UTF-8 encoded file you will find that the result will be é"é" as expected ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-04-01 15:13:57] arievanziel at gmail dot com json_encode returns null for a string with é or (for example) ä in it. Reproduce code: $test = "é"; echo $test; echo json_encode($test); A possible workaround could be to use (especially if you will use the json_encode string as html output): $test = "é"; $test = htmlentities($test, UTF-8); echo $test; echo json_encode($test); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-18 13:29:20] scott...@php.net It only appears of display_errors is on though with 5.3.1+ you can also detect it by looking at json_last_error() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-18 12:54:42] j...@php.net PHP Warning: json_encode(): Invalid UTF-8 sequence in argument in Command line code on line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
