Bug #80678 json_decode fails on numbers with explizit "+" sign
Submitted: 2021-01-28 10:40 UTC Modified: 2021-01-28 10:44 UTC
From: rainer-phpbugs at 7val dot com Assigned:
Status: Not a bug Package: JSON related
PHP Version: 8.0.1 OS: all
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
The JSON standard allows positive numbers to be represented with an explicit "+" sign, e.g. +123 (see the "sign" production on https://www.json.org/json-en.html). json_decode() fails and returns NULL for any JSON string that contains such a number.

Also affects 7.3 and 7.4 branches.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$x=json_decode('+123.4');
var_export($x);
print("\n");

$x=json_decode('123.4');
var_export($x);
print("\n");


Expected result:
----------------
123.4
123.4


Actual result:
--------------
NULL
123.4

A + sign is only allowed as part of a floating-point exponent, such as 1.0e+1. Just +1 in isolation is malformed JSON.
