closing the account is not an option as reopening the account from my country is no possible. i opened the account 5 years ago and maybe back then the restriction were not in place. so my only other option remains to hope for an admin to see to this thread

Read the error...
Fatal error: Call to undefined function json_decode() in xxxxxx.php on line 24
In your script you are calling the function json_decode() it is undefined because there is no such function that exists. The fatal error has nothing to do with the server but bad coding habits.
Line 24 is where you called the function, the function would have to been written before you called the function. Or else you will get Fatal Error of an undefined function, it means exactly what it says.

I'm not sure I am understanding what you mean. json_decode() is NOT a custom function, it is part of the Json module that is loaded on PHP startup. If you go into "Select PHP Module" from Cpanel you can see that you can check or uncheck the json module. Notwithstanding toggling, the module is still not loaded and the json functions are not available for use.

I know it's not a custom function, it means it's missing, and if it's missing you have it disabled or it's not compatible with your php version.
You may want to make a custom function such:
https://gajendrakrjain.wordpress.com/2014/10/07/alternative-for-json_decode-and-json_encode/
It's there (as in it being an option and supported) but it appears that some modules won't load for some users due to an issue in the backend.
The custom json_decode function on the page you had linked to uses a blacklisted function (eval).

I know it uses eval function, it can be recoded not to have to use eval in it, I was giving an example to an alternative, when the json function does not work. There are many other alternatives than that,it was an idea how to go about it.
I appreciate your effort darknessiseek and at some point I will have to look into altering the script to work around the issue without using json_decode() or implementing an alternative json_decode().
In a quick attempt yesterday I just copied and pasted the code you referred to and my script stopped giving the error that json_decode() doesn't exist and started giving a new error:
Fatal error: Class 'DOMDocument' not found in xxxxxxxxxx on line 8
Now please remember that this script was working until something broke AND this script works on other hosting providers.
So even if I manage to work around json_decode() I will have to face this scenario that DOMDocument class does not exist!!!!
Something is definately broken and for the love of me I cannot understand what it is.

Thanks for the support caftpx10 and the effort to get to the root of this problem.
I tried to go through all the checks again with this issue. I changed through all the PHP versions, I toggled DOM and XML modules, but to no avail.
I appreciate darknessiseek's effort into directing me to an alternative which would have worked BUT now how would I go about rewriting the DOMDocument class. I do not think this is the right approach and now I am thinking there might be a whole lot of other modules that are not loading up. I have written a small routine to list all the modules that are loading up on my account.
<?php
$extensions = get_loaded_extensions();
foreach($extensions as $extension) {
echo $extension , "<br>";
}
?>
This is the comparison of the two scripts run on different hosting servers. The 1st coloumn is x10hosting.com the second is heliohost.org. Clearly DOM & json modules are not being loaded but likewise others. Mbstring used to be loaded as my script depends on that too and now its not being loaded.
Would anyone be willing to run the script on his account to list the discrepancies?
