json_decode returns NULL (php)
- by schouk
There is a strange behaviour with json_encode and json_decode and I can't find a solution:
My php application calls a php web service. The webservice returns json that looks like this:
var_dump($foo):
string(62) "?{"action":"set","user":"123123123123","status":"OK"}"
now I like to decode the json in my application:
$data = json_decode($foo, true)
but it returns NULL:
var_dump($data):
NULL
I use php 5.
The Content-Type of the response from the webservice: "text/html; charset=utf-8" (also tried to use "application/json; charset=utf-8")
What could be the reason?
