Stuck with PHP 5.1.6 on RHEL or even CentOS (and a sysadmin who insists on using packages)? Need JSON? I did. The solution is easy:
yum install php-devel
pecl install json
The pecl install failed when it hit an 8MB memory limit, and I was clueless about how to fix it until I learned that the pecl installer ignores the php.ini. Turns out the best solution is to use the pear installer (which does follow php.ini settings):
pear install pecl/json

Thanks man. This really helped.
I was migrating a CakePHP site to Rackspace’s Cloud server and ran into this issue. No repository had it so it was the pecl install for me. Worked like a charm.
I am having the trouble with JSON and PHP as well.
I have followed all the steps; running php -r ‘var_dump(function_exists(”json_encode”))’ return TRUE;
However as soon as I run this from a PHP script in apache; I get False;
Anyone care to help?
Thanks
