PHP on Linux needs to be recompiled with the "configure" command when you
choose to add/remove extensions. The "php.ini" file won't do it.

ie: in your PHP directory...

prompt>: rm -f config.cache FIRST
prompt>: make clean
prompt>:
../configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --disable-
debug --enable-ftp --enable-inline-optimization --enable-magic-quotes --
enable-mbstring **(etc etc etc, but here is where your json extension would
be enabled)***
prompt>: make
prompt>: make install

then restart apache
