JSON extension not available

[colinpizarek]

First off, thanks for the layer. Great stuff. I'm using your ARN as a layer in a function. Works well, but I'm not able to use the JSON extension. I see that it's supposed to be enabled, but it's tossing errors.

I wrote a simple script to dump the config and the json extension is not there:

<?php 
$output = [];
$output['version'] = phpversion();
$output['extensions'] = get_loaded_extensions( false );

if (function_exists('json_encode') ){
    header('Content-Type: application/json');
    echo json_encode( $output );
} else {
    var_dump( $output );
}
?>

Here's the output:

array(2) { ["version"]=> string(5) "7.1.7" ["extensions"]=> array(15) { [0]=> string(4) "Core" [1]=> string(4) "date" [2]=> string(6) "libxml" [3]=> string(7) "openssl" [4]=> string(4) "pcre" [5]=> string(4) "zlib" [6]=> string(6) "filter" [7]=> string(4) "hash" [8]=> string(5) "pcntl" [9]=> string(8) "readline" [10]=> string(10) "Reflection" [11]=> string(3) "SPL" [12]=> string(7) "session" [13]=> string(8) "standard" [14]=> string(10) "cli_server" } }

Can you try adding a php.ini file to the root of your source code package with:

extension_dir=/opt/lib/php/7.1/modules

Yes. Same result. I've attached my scripts; it's running at the same URL shown above.

I found a few issues with layer version 3 related to the php.ini and extension dir locations. I just released a new version of the layer. To use json, all you need to do now is make sure you have a php.ini file with:

extension=json.so

The readme has been updated to make it clear that to use one of the modules provided in the layer you must load it in your php.ini first.

Thanks!

Confirmed the issue is fixed. Thanks!
