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:
---------------
<pre>
<?php

foreach($urls as $url) {
	echo PHP_EOL;

	//call the json
	$json=file_get_contents($url);
	echo 'Decoding... ' . $url . PHP_EOL;

	//convert from jsonp to json
	$json=preg_replace('/.+?({.+}).+/','$1',$json);

	//get a result
	$result=json_decode($json);
	if ($result) {
		echo 'Decoded.';
	} else {
	  echo 'Failed to decode.';
	}
	echo PHP_EOL;

	$err=json_last_error();
	if ($err != JSON_ERROR_NONE) {
		echo 'Error: ';
		echo isset($json_errors[$err])?$json_errors[$err]:$json_errors[-1];
	} else {
		echo 'No error.';
	}
	echo PHP_EOL;
}

//eof

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.
