Comment	> Have had these PHP errors in syslog for ages on my horde-5.2.16 > webmail installation (and previous versions): > > PHP ERROR: json_encode(): Invalid UTF-8 sequence in argument [pid > 30552 on line 48 of ".../pear/php/Horde/Pack/Driver/Json.php"] > > I finally decided to dig into it and find if the cause is a local > problem or systematic. Confirmed, a 44-byte binary (non UTF-8) > string gets passed to json_encode(). > > I could get a backtrace: > '#0 /var/www/sites/horde5.ptaff.ca/pear/php/Horde/Pack.php(130): > Horde_Pack_Driver_Json->pack(Array) > #1 /var/www/sites/horde5.ptaff.ca/pear/php/Horde/Session.php(430): > Horde_Pack->pack(Array, Array) > #2 /var/www/sites/horde5.ptaff.ca/pear/php/Horde/Registry.php(2458): > Horde_Session->set(\'horde\', \'auth_app/gollem\', Array, 4) > #3 /var/www/sites/horde5.ptaff.ca/pear/php/Horde/Registry.php(2581): > Horde_Registry->setAuthCredential(Array, NULL, \'gollem\') > > It thus seems like a regression happened with that commit: > https://github.com/horde/horde/commit/54a1644952151bea3dc942e0b334e07810e9e188 > > Where PHP's serialize() would be happy to be fed binary data, and > json_encode() is not. > > Not sure about the right approach here to fix this as JSON's not > designed to handle raw binary data. >
