Description
The following demo:
source:tags/release-1.6.0/dojox/data/demos/demo_FileStore_dojotree.html
gives the following information:
"This demo must be run from a web-server with PHP support enabled. Without PHP support, this demo cannot function."
I have php on the server, but the demos access to php returned a "HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error".
After a "fight" with the logs, I detected this:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function json_decode()
My PHP 5.2.6 seems to not have this functionality by default. Happy that yast2 listed php5-json, installed, and it worked.
Sounds simple, but this can be a very frustrating experience.
The demos should possibly provide a "sanity check", to see if:
- php is available
- json_decode is available
Or the could a least inform in that way:
"Ensure that you have php (with json library) on the server and that you have the file permissions set correctly."

I'm not sure how to do a runtime check to see if PHP is there withput, well, PHP being there that wouldn't end up convoluted, so I added text to the demo files denoting the requirements on json_encode and json_decode
(In [24728]) Updating demo text to denote required PHP packages. fixes #12753
