Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.json-decode
---

json_decode accepts wrong strings without syntax error and still decodes

<?php
echo json_decode("2014-06-06");
echo json_last_error();
?>

The above code snippet returns 20140. It is a bug, as the error code is 0.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
echo json_decode("2014-06-06");
echo json_last_error();
?>

How did you get PHP in the first place — did you compile it from source, or are you using packages? If the latter, which distribution are you on?

I'm wondering if this is an issue with one of the distros that are replacing ext/json for licensing reasons.

Closing not a bug; you'll need to report this to the relevant Ubuntu developers at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php-json.
