jQuery $.ajax request of dataType json will not retrieve data from PHP script

Question

I\'ve been looking all over for the solution but I cannot find anything that works. I am trying to get a bunch of data from the database and then via AJAX autocomplete input

Answer 1

Try using jQuery.parseJSON when you get the data back.

type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
url: url,
data: { get_member: id },
success: function(data) { 
    response = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
    $("input[ name = type ]:eq(" + response.type + " )")
        .attr("checked", "checked");
    $("input[ name = name ]").val( response.name);
    $("input[ name = fname ]").val( response.fname);
    $("input[ name = lname ]").val( response.lname);
    $("input[ name = email ]").val( response.email);
    $("input[ name = phone ]").val( response.phone);
    $("input[ name = website ]").val( response.website);
    $("#admin_member_img")
        .attr("src", "images/member_images/" + response.image);
},
error: function(error) {
    alert(error);
}
