json_encode is returning NULL?

We have a php web-service running that communicates with a iPhone app. I am encoding all the desired data into json with json_encode. But when I try to encode something that contains HTML tags I get null as value.

I know this got something to do with our php version we are running 5.2.3 if I recall correctly, and I know this is fixed in version 5.4.

So my question is, can this be done easily without upgrading our php version.

Is using `htmlspecialchars` or `strip_tags` an option? – Explosion Pills Dec 09 '11 at 14:20
try getting the error using [json_last_error()](http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-last-error.php) – applechief Dec 09 '11 at 14:41
