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

> 7.1.0  serialize_precision is used instead of precision when encoding double values.

http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.serialize-precision

Check your serialize_precision setting.

According to requinix@php.net comment, I have changed serialize_precision setting to 17 (as in php 7.0 http://php.net/manual/en/ini.list.php). For me it does not work. After restarting apache i still gets this rounding issue.

You will have to change it to a lower value such as 14 to restore the previous behavior.

However, you should seriously consider if that's really what you want -- you are actively corrupting your JSON output by reducing the precision with which floating point numbers are exported. Are you sure that is what you want to do? Most likely it is not.
