DBDog had a problem with his instance of phpMyIDE and was clearly an Ajax issue. So to triage it, we opened up main.php and uncommented the line

require 'source/module.ajaxlog.php';

(about line 53) and restart the app. A new tab appears in the bottom pane area with the title, "Ajax Log." This log shows just about everything that's happening in Ajax for the Script Explorer and the Editor module. What we noticed was that we were getting a "undefined function" error at the server - no function named "json_encode" exists.

The issue is that DBDog's instance of PHP was at 5.1, where the json_encode and json_decode functions are not automatically included. If you are running php 5.2+ then it is - if anything less, then you need to use the PECL install to get the JSON functions into your instance.

What I'm thinking is writing an encoder, but trying the json_encode first... if the function does not exist then use the php coded one. It will not be nearly as fast as the C compiled one, but it would get past this obstacle.

Thoughts? Should I simply require the json_encode functionality?

Perk, I got working. I see the database info now.
I upgraded my OS last night from Ubuntu Server 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS.
As I was doing this last night I am thinking to myself, why am I
doing this to my production server    I have 3 other unused machines
sitting right next to me that I could quickly load up LAMP server to try
out the new IDE.
The upgrade went fine and everything still works...
I now have PHP 5.2.4 with the json stuff
