Bug description:json_decode skips value where json_encode includes it
Description:
------------
If you have empty array inside object, json_encode() does encode the value
into JSON format, but when the data is decoded with json_decode(), this
empty JSON array is omitted from output.
Consider following structure:
["timetable"]=>
object(pizzaonline\model\Timetable)#30 (9) {
["id"]=>
string(3) "774"
["timetable"]=>
array(0) {
}
["opening_hours"]=>
..
Corresponding json_encode would be:
"timetable":{
"id":"774",
"timetable":[
],
"opening_hours":[
..
This is all right, but I have a loop that removes this empty array with
unset(). So PHP structure from JSON is encoded is like:
["timetable"]=>
object(pizzaonline\model\Timetable)#30 (8) {
["id"]=>
string(3) "774"
["opening_hours"]=>
But using json_encode() returns same result that is in snippet 2.
Just ask if any questions, Iâll do example script later...
