[Bug 1287726] [NEW] Wrong evaluation whether json is valid or not

[Mads Martin Jørgensen]

Public bug reported:

# php -r 'var_dump(json_decode("\"\xff\""));'
string(1) "�"

Should be:

# php -r 'var_dump(json_decode("\"\xff\""));'
NULL


Since a large (and growing) number of services use JSON for communication, it's quite bad.
