json.so Not Loading?

[Phil Fenstermacher]

I've installed json.so using pecl and its in the right place, it is
specified in the php.ini file, however when I run a script that calls
either of the two json commands I get the "Fatal error: Call to
undefined function json_encode()" error. I've restarted apache, and
even restarted the entire machine that its running on. Permissions on
the json.so file are the same as other libraries that are working.
Any ideas?

PHP on Linux needs to be recompiled with the "configure" command when you
choose to add/remove extensions. The "php.ini" file won't do it.

ie: in your PHP directory...

prompt>: rm -f config.cache FIRST
prompt>: make clean
prompt>:
../configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --disable-
debug --enable-ftp --enable-inline-optimization --enable-magic-quotes --
enable-mbstring **(etc etc etc, but here is where your json extension would
be enabled)***
prompt>: make
prompt>: make install

then restart apache

Not in my experience. I've downloaded binary extensions in the past, added
them to php.ini and never had to rebuild the whole of PHP for it.

My advice would be to check the output of phpinfo() -- in particular note
the location of the php.ini file -- sometimes you'll end up with several
php.ini files on your system, so you need to make sure that you've been
editing the right one!

Perhaps my situation was unique, in that I needed to have the JPG library
loaded for GD, which required a rebuild.
