Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.json-encode
---
There is no explanation about what does every option bitmask but only examples about their different output.

Expected result:
----------------
Bitmask consisting of JSON_HEX_QUOT, JSON_HEX_TAG, JSON_HEX_AMP, JSON_HEX_APOS, JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES, JSON_FORCE_OBJECT, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE. 

* JSON_HEX_QUOT: Encodes '"' into ....
* JSON_HEX_TAG: Encodes '<' and '>' into ....
....

Actual result:
--------------
Bitmask consisting of JSON_HEX_QUOT, JSON_HEX_TAG, JSON_HEX_AMP, JSON_HEX_APOS, JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES, JSON_FORCE_OBJECT, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE.

And while we're on that page the example doesn't include a demo of NUMERIC_CHECK, 
PRETTY_PRINT, or UNESCAPED_SLASHES.

Did you know you can easily submit changes to the online documentation? Look for 
the [edit] link in the top-right corner of manual pages.

Here's a patch with the additions:
"json_encode: explain constants, show new ones (bug #63383)"

Log: Add a link to the constants page from json_encode() and fix the title of the
example to indicate that we're not trying to show every single option.

Fixes doc bug #63383 (json_encode options bitmask).

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
