Can't decode JSON string in php

I’m at my wits end here, and I can’t figure it out.
My code was working correctly locally (using xamp) but now it won’t work.

When I run this code:

echo "passed in parameter" . $_POST["jsoned"];
$unjasoned = json_decode("[\"23\",[],[[\"a@a.a\",\"2011-01-08\"]]]");
die("\ntype\n\t". gettype($unjasoned) . "\n\n\nAmount\n\t" . $unjasoned[0]);

I get:

passed in parameter[\"23\",[],[[\"a@a.a\",\"2011-01-08\"]]]
type
    array


Amount
    23

Which is exactly what i want

However the problem happens when I use the passed variable in $_POST["jsoned"] which is you see in the result above is obviously exactly the same as what im manually inserting here.

so if i do this instead (same exact input):

echo "passed in parameter" . $_POST["jsoned"];
$unjasoned  = json_decode($_POST["jsoned"]);
die("\ntype\n\t". gettype($unjasoned) . "\n\n\nAmount\n\t" . $unjasoned[0]);

I get:

passed in parameter[\"23\",[],[[\"a@a.a\",\"2011-01-08\"]]]
type
    NULL


Amount

so…… WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?! PLEASE if you have any hints share them with me, ill be eternally thankful.

ps. my server runs php version 5.2.13
