Valid JSON not decoding

[tferrell]

I've got a valid JSON string that json_decode does not decode properly. Running decode simply results in NULL.

Please assist?

{"type": "autosave",
"owner": "redacted",
"property": "Magic Kingdom",
"lob": "Food",
"location": "Pecos",
"rows": [
{"index:":0,"leaderName":"","colorString":"wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww", "rowName":"#row0Grid", "position":""},
{"index:":1, "leaderName":"","colorString":"wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww", "rowName":"#row11Grid", "position":""}]}

Decoded fine for me:

<?php
$bleh = '{"type": "autosave",
"owner": "redacted",
"property": "Magic Kingdom",
"lob": "Food",
"location": "Pecos",
"rows": [
{"index:":0,"leaderName":"","colorString":"wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww", "rowName":"#row0Grid", "position":""},
{"index:":1, "leaderName":"","colorString":"wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww", "rowName":"#row11Grid", "position":""}]}';

$snuh = json_decode($bleh);

echo'<pre>';
print_r($snuh);
echo '</pre>';
?>

Resulted In:

stdClass Object
(
    [type] => autosave
    [owner] => redacted
    [property] => Magic Kingdom
    [lob] => Food
    [location] => Pecos
    [rows] => Array
        (
            [0] => stdClass Object

                    [leaderName] => 
                    [colorString] => wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
                    [rowName] => #row0Grid
                    [position] => 
                )

        [1] => stdClass Object
            (
                [index:] => 1
                [leaderName] => 
                [colorString] => wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
                [rowName] => #row11Grid
                [position] => 
            )

    )
