Base64 Decode in php with a json_decode -

hi have following issue in instances json_decode not work , empty array follows.

// test purpose set inbound enc parameter $_post["enc"] = "eyj0cmfuc2nyaxb0ijoilsagicagicagicbqyxn0zwqgdghlihrlehqgaw50bybob3rlcgfkibmgbm8gc3bly2lhbcbjagfyywn0zxjziiwiawqiojcwlcjpc0fjdglvbmvkijp0cnvllcj1c2vyx2lkijoxlcj0yxnrx3r5cgvfawqiojesimfjy291bnrfawqiojixlcjhy2nvdw50x25hbwuioijurvnuiiwizxzlbnrfzgf0zsi6bnvsbh0=";  $decoded = base64_decode($_post["enc"]); $ar = (array)json_decode($decoded);  echo "<pre>";     print_r($decoded); echo "</pre>";  echo "<pre>";     print_r($ar); echo "</pre>"; 

$decoded displays json string, $ar null.

any please appreciated in helping me issue.

taking code , decoding base64 encoded string turns out have chr(13) ascii character in json data causing json fail validation according json lint. taking character out results in json parsing correctly.

decoded json data:

{     "transcript": "-          pasted text notepad  no special characters",     "id": 70,     "isactioned": true,     "user_id": 1,     "task_type_id": 1,     "account_id": 21,     "account_name": "test",     "event_date": null }
