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

The $.ajax error function takes three arguments, not one:

error: function(xhr, status, thrown)

You need to dump the 2nd and 3rd parameters to find your cause, not the first one.
