CodeIgniter - How to return Json response from controller

Question

How do I return response from the controller back to the Jquery Javascript?

Javascript

$(\'.signinform\').submit(function() { 
   $(this).ajaxSubmit(         


        

Answer 1

This is not your answer and this is an alternate way to process the form submission

$('.signinform').click(function(e) { 
      e.preventDefault();
      $.ajax({
      type: "POST",
      url: 'index.php/user/signin', // target element(s) to be updated with server response 
      dataType:'json',
      success : function(response){ console.log(response); alert(response)}
     });
});
