json_encode_safe

NAME

json_encode_safe

FUNCTION

The PHP function json_encode_safe checks to see if current php version contains JSON functions. If it does, then encodes the data. Otherwise it outputs an error. Safe way to use json_encode because not all PHP setups have JSON functions.

INPUTS

string $data - the data to encode

SOURCE

function json_encode_safe($data) {
    // Package up the JSON
    if(function_exists('json_encode')) {
        return json_encode($data);
    }
    else {
        return '{ "error": ["No JSON function in this version of PHP!"] }';
    }
    return;
}
