bibox: json issue with PHP

• OS: archlinux
• Programming Language version: PHP
• CCXT version: 1.10.717
• Exchange: bibox
• Method: any

There’s an issue with Bibox and Exchange->json due to second parameter JSON_FORCE_OBJECT passed to json_encode.

Bibox expects JSON request to look like:

{"cmds":"[{\"cmd\":\"api\\\/marketAll\",\"body\":[]}]"}

However, with given parameter in PHP it looks like:

{"cmds":"{\"0\":{\"cmd\":\"api\\\/marketAll\",\"body\":{}}}"}

And that causes all requests fail with response:

{
  "error": {
    "code": "3000",
    "msg": "请求参数错误"
  }
}

I believe we can’t simply remove the JSON_FORCE_OBECT (don’t know why was it introduced), especially as there aren’t tests for PHP. What solution would you suggest? (I’ll be more than happy to submit a PR)

I assume this is the same issue I’m having now

Error : bibox {"error":{"code":"3000","msg":"\u8bf7\u6c42\u53c2\u6570\u9519\u8bef"}}

If it is the array/object variant issue then it would make sense for each exchange to have a settings to define the format of their json packages

Well, that isn’t the beginning, it’s the beginning of ccxt.php, and before that everything was in one file + it was moved from folder to folder in recent months, so, it’s quite hard to find the reason now )

But, if you’re ok to wait a little, I’ll come up with a reason for that. In other words, I would not add it “just in case”, I would only add it as a bugfix – that’s what I’m sure about.
