    • Problem when decoding json from oci compute instance list output in php

    edited Nov 10, 2024 2:04PM in OCI - General 1 comment

    I use php and I want to decode the json output from the command oci compute instance list.

    In Powershell, This works fine to display the raw json:

    php -r "var_dump(shell_exec('oci compute instance list --compartment-id ocid1.tenancy.oc1..removed'));"

    But this returns NULL:

    php -r "var_dump(json_decode(shell_exec('oci compute instance list --compartment-id ocid1.tenancy.oc1..removed')));"

    If I strip off the "processor-description" field from the json output before decoding, it decodes successfully. So it appears there are problem characters within it causing this.

    The contents of "processor-description" are:

    "processor-description": "3.0 GHz Ampere® Altra™",
