Description:
------------
So, I have an array witch doesn't encode right in json...
( look the example script... )

Test script:
---------------
$a = Array (
    "password" => "SeRjQRVUglkeM‰‰P9L7NsjKXOY", //it's encrypted with a custom encryption system
    "id" => 0
);
echo json_encode($a);

Expected result:
----------------
{"password":"SeRjQRVUglkeM‰‰P9L7NsjKXOY","id":0}

Actual result:
--------------
{"password":null,"id":0}

JSON as per RFC-4626 cannot encode arbitrary binary data. Everything you pass to 
json_encode() must be valid Unicode. json_last_error() would have told you this.

Also, would be nice if you could provide a more meaningful title next time :) Btw, if you want to encode binary data as JSON (or basically anything else) you should first base64_encode it.
