JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK and phone numbers

Question

Our PHP API outputs results using json_encode with JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK enabled, which is important for financial figures, binary values etc.. but we have recently introduced

Answer 1

works for me :

// $DATAS -> datas returned by the server
$DATAS = array(
    array('tel' => '0606060606'), 
    array('tel' => '0707070707') 
);

foreach($DATAS as $k => $v){

    $tel = " ".$v['tel']." ";  // ADD WHITE SPACE
    $DATAS[$k]['tel'] = $tel;
}

echo json_encode($DATAS, JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK);

// output : [{"tel":" 0606060606 "},{"tel":" 0707070707 "}]

Maybe define css white space or trim datas in the json encoded for obtain the perfect parsed number
