Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

The JSON specifications don't distinguish between integer and
floating point numbers (or other representations), therefore 11.0
and 11 are considered identical, so json_encode() chooses the
shortest representation.

However, there will be a new option to json_encode(), 
JSON_PRESERVE_ZERO_FRACTION, in PHP 7[1].
