There is a server on which version php 4.4 is installed, there is no sense in transferring to a higher version of php-very old site. Screw the sms gateway, rewrote a little classes to work with him. Faced the problem that there are no json_decode and json_encode functions. Can someone come across and be able to help find a solution to the problem? Thank.

Will have to be screwed by hand:

Using the library below, you need to check and determine if there are no conversion methods:

if (!function_exists('json_decode')) { function json_decode($content, $assoc=false) { require_once 'classes/JSON.php'; if ($assoc) { $json = new Services_JSON(SERVICES_JSON_LOOSE_TYPE); } else { $json = new Services_JSON; } return $json->decode($content); } } if (!function_exists('json_encode')) { function json_encode($content) { require_once 'classes/JSON.php'; $json = new Services_JSON; return $json->encode($content); } }

The original PECL package , which was later moved to the PHP core, declares support from PHP 4.3. Try it and put it.
