Can anyone please help.

I am upgrading print module from 6.x-1.x-dev to 6.x-1.18. I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function json_decode() in ../modules/print/print.module on line 420

I found this post but I don't know what they are talking about.

I am using PHP 5.1.6.

Thank you!

The current dev is newer than 6.x-1.18 so what you are actually attempting is a downgrade and not really a good idea.

EDIT:
Also, always check a module's issue queue. Searching with your error found: #1778204: update problem because of undefined json_decode so it seems that's a bug in that version anyway. just use the dev.

Thank you for the reply.

I don't get it. Drupal says that the "Recommended version: 6.x-1.18 (2012-Sep-04) "
Take a look at Screenshot here.

Any thoughts?

yes my thought is that right in your own screenshot, on the bottom line, you'll see the date on the dev version is 2012-Sep-19 (Sep 19 is AFTER Sep 4th).

WorldFallz, that worked!!

After installing the new module I took a look at the .info file and it says "Printer, email and PDF versions 6.x-1.18+3-dev (2012-Sep-19)" which confirms that this is the newest version.

It's weird that Drupal would recommend a version with bugs.

Thanks a bunch.

glad you got it sorted! and it's not 'drupal' per say that makes the recommendation-- module maintainers select which version is 'recommended' and therefore it's not always up-to-date.
