From: Operating system: Gentoo Linux x86 PHP version: 5.3.6 Package: JSON related Bug Type: Bug 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... -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54513&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54513&r=mysqlcfg
