I think 5.3 is required for memcached 1.0.2.
 [2010-06-16 16:31 UTC] ben at visionsource dot org
In the summary page it says 5.2:

PHP Version: PHP version 6.0.0 or older
PHP Version: PHP 5.2.0 or newer
PEAR Package: PEAR Installer 1.4.0b1 or newer

I have the same issue with redhat / php 5.2.x
 [2011-03-20 10:02 UTC] admin at mytravelog dot org
The same issue on Amazon Linux AMI 2011.02.1 beta x32 with yum'ed PHP 5.3.5

Memcache extension works fine, but MemcacheD cant be loaded due to "undefined symbol: php_json_encode in Unknown on line 0"

Here is the installation sequence:

yum install memcached
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://launchpad.net/libmemcached/1.0/0.48/+download/libmemcached-0.48.tar.gz
tar zxvf libmemcached-0.48.tar.gz
cd libmemcached-0.48
./configure --disable-64bit CFLAGS="-O3 -march=i686"
make && make install
pecl install memcached

-------
then add extension=memcached.so and double check, that json.so is enabled and is visible by phpinfo();

I have just found a solution for this bug.

Just make sure that extension=json.so is specified BEFORE extension=memcached.so.

I had placed extension=memcached.so in php.ini, and extension=json.so was specified in /etc/php.d/json.ini, that is parsed AFTER php.ini. That is why PHP can't find php_json_encode() at the point of loading memcached.so.

I guess, this info should better be added to the installation instructions. I have seen a lot of complaints on this bug all over the Web.

Cheers! Thanks for the nice extension!

Please try php-memcached-2.0.0b1, it has this issue fixed.
 [2012-08-10 18:41 UTC] kevin dot seelbach at gmail dot com
I had this same problem, but found that the fix is as simple as removing the extension declaration from php.ini, and letting php.ini load the preexisting json.so and memcached.so in /etc/php.d/. I'm on EC2 Linux (CentOS, I think?).
