Description: ------------ JSON in PHP 5.1 is loaded via PECL-Module. The json_decode- function of the PECL-Module does not accept scalar- values like "false" but only arrays and objects, while the native version embedded with PHP 5.2 does. Test script: --------------- <?php // does not work under PHP 5.1 with PECL-Module but works with PHP 5.2 // see http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php#69383 $v = true; $jv = json_encode($v); $xv = json_decode($jv); var_dump($xv); // this works with every instance of the json_decode-function $v = true; $jv = json_encode($v); $xv = json_decode('['.$jv.']'); $xv = count($xv) ? $xv[0] : null; var_dump($xv); ?> Expected result: ---------------- bool(true) bool(true) as it is on php 5.2 Actual result: -------------- NULL bool(true) as is in php 5.1 with PECL-Module

This bug has been fixed in SVN. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better. At revision: 301762
