Title: Javascript error
Post by: jimmyz on July 09, 2010, 11:32:22

Hi,
By the time I press translate button (elxis v2009.2), after I've chosen the target language, I get this:

Code: [Select]

Javascript
Function json_decode is not available in your system and therefor translation can not continue. json_decode requires PHP 5.2 or greater.
Does this mean that my host uses an outdated version of PHP?

It is no big deal, just asking.
Thank you.

Yes!
You can verify this if you go to your administator area ( back-end)

Tools -> updiag - > ( and click on the button ) PHP.

This is not a javascript error, it is an Elxis warning.

The translation feature requires function json_decode which is available in PHP 5.2+
You can solve this issue in 2 ways:
1. By upgrading your PHP installation
2. By finding a json_decode equivalent function and place it somewhere globally accessible in Elxis (i.e. in Elxis loader).

administrator/includes/translator.class.php
line 67

if (!function_exists('json_decode')) { //PHP 5.2+
            $this->last_error = 'Function json_decode is not available in your system and therefor translation can not continue. json_decode requires PHP 5.2 or greater.';
            return false;
}
