Description:
------------
I was under the impression, that if i have a json_last_error, that if the flag JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR is set, i will get an exception. In the example below json_last_error would return 4, but no exception is thrown.

Test script:
---------------
json_decode('test',true,JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR);

Expected result:
----------------
The appropriate exception is thrown

Actual result:
--------------
NULL is being returned

Please see the function signature at https://www.php.net/json_decode. You are passing the flag to the $depth parameter, not the $options parameter.

the embarassment is real :/
thx nikic

@nikic while this is totally due to my own stupidity, i see where i went wrong

while encode has options first, then depth
decode has depth first, then options

maybe it would be worth aligning this?
