PHP Fatal error Call to undefined function json decode

Question

Apache is logging PHP Fatal error   Call to undefined function json decode    After some googling  it seems this problem is a result of not having the latest version of php  Oddly  running php --version ouputs   PHP 5 5 1-2 debphp org precise 2  cli   built  Aug  6 2013 10 49 43   Copyright  c  1997-2013 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2 5 0  Copyright  c  1998-2013 Zend Technologies     with Zend OPcache v7 0 2-dev  Copyright  c  1999-2013  by Zend Technologies     with Xdebug v2 2 3  Copyright  c  2002-2013  by Derick Rethans   Clearly showing that my php version is greater than 5 1    Any ideas as to what could cause this  or the steps to take to find out   EDIT  The result of a script echoing phpversion is 5 5 1-2 debphp org precise  EDIT  The result of phpinfo   is also PHP Version 5 5 1-2 debphp org precise 2  Furthermore  in the phpinfo    it lists the module JSON and the module authors  Omar Kilani  Scott MacVicar

you might also consider avoiding the core PHP module altogether   It is quite common to use the guzzle json tools as a library in PHP apps these days   If your app is a composer app  it is trivial to include them as a part of a composer build  The guzzle tool  as a library  would be a turnkey replacement for the json tool  if you tell PHP to autoinclude the tool   http   docs guzzlephp org en stable search html q json encode   http   apigen juzna cz doc guzzle guzzle function-GuzzleHttp json decode html

Using Ubuntu   Short answer   sudo apt-get install php7 2-json    or php7 1-json or  php5-json depending on the PHP version you re running   Then of course make sure you restart Apache   sudo service apache2 restart   Or if you are using PHP-FPM   sudo service php7 2-fpm restart    Or php7 1-fpm or php5-fpm   Explanation  Debian has removed the previous JSON extension as of PHP 5 5rc2 due to a license conflict   The JSON license has a clause which states      The Software shall be used for Good  not Evil    This causes a problem with Free Software Foundation s definition of free software which states      The freedom to run the program  for any purpose  freedom 0     FSF goes on to specifically list the JSON license as nonfree   Yes it seems a bit silly  Nevertheless Debian has removed the non-compliant JSON extension  and instead offered a replacement extension that is functionally equivalent   To be clear  PHP itself has NOT removed JSON  it s still in master  This is a distro   package manager issue   Rasmus makes it pretty clear      We have not removed json and we will never release a version of php without json support built in  Any changes in 5 5 is due to whatever distro packaging you are using which we have no control over    More details  http   iteration99 com 2013 php-json-licensing-and-php-5-5   http   liorkaplan wordpress com 2013 06 01 bye-bye-non-free-php-json-extension   https   bugs php net bug php id 63520  http   philsturgeon co uk blog 2013 08 fud-cracker-php-55-never-lost-json-support
