Here's an updated version of the function:<?php    if (!function_exists('json_last_error_msg')) {        function json_last_error_msg() {            static $ERRORS = array(                JSON_ERROR_NONE => 'No error',                JSON_ERROR_DEPTH => 'Maximum stack depth exceeded',                JSON_ERROR_STATE_MISMATCH => 'State mismatch (invalid or malformed JSON)',                JSON_ERROR_CTRL_CHAR => 'Control character error, possibly incorrectly encoded',                JSON_ERROR_SYNTAX => 'Syntax error',                JSON_ERROR_UTF8 => 'Malformed UTF-8 characters, possibly incorrectly encoded'            );            $error = json_last_error();            return isset($ERRORS[$error]) ? $ERRORS[$error] : 'Unknown error';        }    }?>
