Php7 json_decode null

1. Confirm that the file has no BOM header

2. Tried the following ways to remove illegal strings, but still output NULL

        $some_string = htmlspecialchars_decode($some_string);

        $some_string = preg_replace("/\t/", " ", $some_string);
        $some_string = preg_replace("/\n/", " ", $some_string);
        $some_string = str_replace("\n", " ", $some_string);
        $some_string = str_replace ("\n","", $some_string);

3, json_last_error () output 4pm Syntax error, malformed JSON

4. Output the string directly, and the browser can parse josn normally, as shown in the screenshot

because your string is not a standard JSON string, the standard JSON string causes

by using "" for every string type.

Test Code

<?php 
$jsonStr1 = '{status: {RetCode:0, msg: "success"}, data: {}}';
var_dump(json_decode($jsonStr1, true));
var_dump(json_last_error());

echo "----------------".PHP_EOL;

$jsonStr2 = '{"status": {"RetCode":0, "msg": "success"}, "data": {}}';
var_dump(json_decode($jsonStr2, true));

result

NULL
int(4)
----------------
array(2) {
  ["status"]=>
  array(2) {
    ["RetCode"]=>
    int(0)
    ["msg"]=>
    string(7) "success"
  }
  ["data"]=>
  array(0) {
  }
}

= Update =

after debugging, it is found that it is caused by BOM . Here is the solution

$dataString = $merchant_arr['data'];
$A = substr($dataString, 0, 1);
$B = substr($dataString, 1, 1);
$C = substr($dataString, 2, 1);
if ((ord($A) == 239) && (ord($B) == 187) && (ord($C) == 191)) {
    $dataString = substr($dataString, 3);
}
$dataArray = json_decode($dataString, true);

json_decode($jsonStr, true);

have you added the parameter true?


information is relatively small, it is difficult to judge, post $some_string to have a look, or explain where this value is obtained.


$str="json" ;                       
dump($json_decode($str));               
echo $errorinfo=json_last_error();

htmlspecialchars_decode$str;
