Description:
------------
I'm trying the json_decode() function on real world strings, not just from strings 
produced using json_encode().

I have included the test case from bug #52262 as well to show that this issue is 
different.

Thanks.

Test script:

Expected result:
----------------
The first result should either:

* Decode successfully and have no error (preferable)
Or
* Fail to decode and have an error which explains why

Actual result:

Here's a much simpler test case based on the munged JSON from
atsearch.autotrader.co.uk:

<?php
$input = '{"searchform":null}, null, {"searchresults":"foo"}';
var_dump(json_decode($input));
var_dump(json_last_error());
?>

Obviously json_last_error() should return something other than 0,
presumably JSON_ERROR_SYNTAX (4), since it's not syntactically
valid JSON.
