Hi.

Regarding http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47493, I've supplied a patch
to the unit tests too.

Any chance this could get committed to 5.2+

I'm too convinced of the parameter name and I don't think its something
that should be added to 5.2.9 since its a feature.

5.3+ would be OK then.

As to the param name, I'm not actually changing the name, just adding
another flag.

In javascript's terminology,the output is an array ...

[]

or a hash

{}

So forcing a hash for arrays is pretty much what would be wanted and I
as I comment in the request, we have a "force" option when coming FROM
json data ... json_decode ( string $json [, bool $assoc= false [, int
$depth= 512 ]] )

And the "name" of the param here is appropriate to PHP's use (assoc is
not part of JSON's or JS's terminology).

If you can think of a better name for the flag, then I'd be glad to use it.

Richard.

The JSON spec refers to them as arrays or objects though, as does our
documentation I believe.

PHP_JSON_FORCE_OBJECT

I however have another patch for more strict encoding so I'll try to
roll this in a single update.

When it is in JSON, it isn't an object, but an object hash, similar,
as I understand things, to the differences between a class definition
and an instance. Or, I suppose more like an object serialization and
an object.

PHP_JSON_FORCE_OBJECT would be ideal.

Thank you.

First of all, this isn't a "why is this not done yet" message. Honestly.

Do you have any timeframe for this though?

Do you think it will be ready for 5.3RC1?

Thank you,

Richard Quadling.

I think this behavior is a bit odd too:

php -r "echo json_encode(array(0=>'test'));" // ["test"]
php -r "echo json_encode(array(1=>'test'));" // {"1":"test"}

php -r "echo json_encode(array(0=>'test'));" // ["test"]
php -r "echo json_encode(array(1=>'test'));" // {"1":"test"}

And

php -r "echo json_encode(array(0=>'test',3=>'foo'));" // {"0":"test","3":"foo"}

So it seems that zero-base, sequential, integer indexed arrays will be
output as a JS array and any other type of array will be an object
hash. The PHP_JSON_FORCE_OBJECT (thank you Scott for the name) would
at least clarify the output for dynamically created output.
