So, essentially I have this Javascript which interprets the JSON from my php code. It works great on the local server, however, when I try to move the script to a different server it will not work. I have added the
<?php header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *"); ?>
also i've declared my database connection as global within my PHP function.
I'm confused as to why these solutions aren't working.. Also, I understand some of the script is iffy, but I'm only interested in figuring out why its not working from different servers.
<script type="text/javascript"> $("document").ready(function(){ $(".sendText").submit(function(){ $("#sendButton").prop("disabled",true); $(".errors").html(""); $(".success").html(""); var data = { "action": "test" }; data = $(this).serialize() + "&" + $.param(data); $.ajax({ type: "POST", dataType: "jsonp", //new edit url: "http://myurl.com/testing/jsonpost.php?callback=test", //new edit data: data, success: function(data) { if(data["success"]=="yes") { $(".success").html("Message Sent!"); $(".formContainer").html("" + data["json"] + ""); } else { if(document.getElementById("sendButton").disabled = true){ document.getElementById("sendButton").disabled = false; } $(".errors").html("" + data["errors"] + ""); } } }); return false; }); }); </script>
Some Info when I look at the web console from firebug:
Access-Control-Allow-Orig... * Connection Keep-Alive Content-Length 0 Content-Type application/json Date Wed, 24 Sep 2014 04:22:57 GMT Keep-Alive timeout=5, max=100 Server Apache/2.2.27 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.27 OpenSSL/1.0.1e-fips DAV/2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 X-Powered-By PHP/5.4.29
Looks like it is communicating with server but not able to interpret data? thoughts?
Also, this error comes up in the console from the remote server but not when I run on local server:
SyntaxError {stack: (...), message: "Unexpected end of input"}message: "Unexpected end of input"stack: (...) Object {readyState: 4, getResponseHeader: function, getAllResponseHeaders: function, setRequestHeader: function, overrideMimeType: function… parsererror
The PHP code is pretty long (and I prefer not to release all of it) - however here is the shortened version:
<?php header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *"); header('Content-Type: application/json'); require "../database/db.php"; if (is_ajax()) { if (isset($_POST["action"]) && !empty($_POST["action"])) { //Checks if action value exists $action = $_POST["action"]; switch($action) { //Switch case for value of action case "test": test_function(); break; } } } //Function to check if the request is an AJAX request function is_ajax() { return isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) == 'xmlhttprequest'; } function test_function(){ $c="1"; global $con; $return = $_POST; //to reference post $content=$return["content"]; //see if content is 140 characters or less if(strlen($content)>140){ $c="0"; $lerror="<li>Your message must be 140 characters or less in length!</li>"; } if($c=="0"){ //doesnt pass validation $return["success"]="no"; $return["errors"]="$lerror"; } if($c!="0"){ //passes validation $return["success"]="yes"; } if(isset($_GET['callback'])){ //jsonp edit $return["json"] = json_encode($return); echo $_GET['callback']."(".json_encode($return).")"; //jsonp edit } }
Also after converting to JSONP on remote server - get error -
"jQuery111006159528985153884_1411663761720 was not called"
