[RESOLVED] 'json' is a reserved keyword in php?

blackhorse

I cannot use json as my folder name or file name. I got page not found error.

Not just for codeigniter, but for traditional php, I cannot use json as file name in traditional php too (but I can use json as folder name in traditional php).

Any advices? Does it have something to do with the hosting set up?

But I cannot find the doc said 'json' is a reserved keyword.

I would check if the folder/file physically exists on the server first (via FTP or an is_file() is_dir() call). The page not found error could be because the folder/file does not physically exist, or there is an .htaccess file (or similar) blocking access.

Do you use mod_rewrite or anything similar? The following test worked fine for me:

<?php 

mkdir(dirname(__FILE__) . '/json');
file_put_contents(dirname(__FILE__) . '/json/json', 'hello');

echo file_get_contents(dirname(__FILE__) . '/json/json');

?>

It wouldn't matter even if it was (it isn't) - a string is not a keyword.

I have the folder there named 'json' and then I was trying to access the file under it, I got page not found error, but I rename the folder to some name such as 'data', then I can access the file under that folder.

Then in the renamed folder 'data' if I change the file name to 'json.php', then I got the page not found error again. If I rename the file back to 'data.php', then I can access it.

Does it have something to do with the CodeIgniter (CI forum said CI has nothing to do with it.) ? Very strange.

Or it is hosting set up issue? I am on a shared hosting with cpanel.

Any possibility it's something to do with URL rewriting in your Apache config or .htaccess file?

Thanks! it is the case.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|captcha|css|js|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

I didn't realize that the RewriteCond for |js|, also includes 'json'.

Maybe change the "|js|" to "|js/|"?
