json_decode() does not work with this valid JSON string

问题

Here is the JSON string my app is receiving from Postmark, an inbound email delivery service:

Copy that into any JSON Validator and you'll see that it is valid.

However, when I run json_decode(); on this string in PHP, it fails silently. When running echo json_last_error(); the returned error code is 4. This corresponds to a Syntax Error.

By simply find-replacing \ to \\ in my code editor, I can get this to work, but how can I get PHP to automatically do this?

EDIT: As discovered in the comments, the exact string I posted above works correctly when read in from a file, as PHP does not try to parse any backslashes etc. However, it appears to be parsing the slashes when read in from file_get_contents('php://input) which is what is now causing me problems.

回答1:

You could do this on the variable:

$json = str_replace('\\', '\\\\', $json);
