Miracles with BLOWFISH inside JSON

Question

PHP

Here is my code:

   $message = mcrypt_ecb(MCRYPT_BLOWFISH, 12344532523532, $message, MCRYPT_ENCRYPT);
    $answer = array("message"=>$message, "code"=>$code);
    var_dump($answer);
    echo json_encode($answer);
    exit();

And here is the result

array(2) { 
    ["message"]=> string(24) "zС”Э»Пі^cptO«q[email protected]Юн " 
    ["code"]=> int(1) 
} 


{"message":null,"code":1}

Tell me, where do such miracles come from? json eats characters unknown to it?

Answer 1

The JSON parser may fall silent if it cannot recognize the encoding. Especially in the encoded data at the end of the padding of \0, which is not text at all. Pack in base64.
What are you reading? In the browser?

Answer 2

Tell me, where do such miracles come from? json eats characters unknown to it?

If Cyrillic and PHP 5.4 and above, add JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE.
If Cyrillic and PHP < 5.4 - see www.php.net/manual/ru/function.json-encode.php in the comments there is an implementation for PHP 5.3
Actually, json itself cannot eat anything.
