dataType: “json” won't work

Question

I\'m trying to send back multiple variables from a php file to ajax using json in an array. The code in the php file works perfectly and does everything with my database lik

Answer 1

If you set the dataType in jQuery, that actually sets the Content-Type header attribute. Perhaps, in your PHP script you will need to declare this MIME type as accepted. Did you notice if the code even enters the PHP script when you make the request? I doubt it is a browser problem if it doesn't work in Firefox, Chrome or IE.

To gain a better perspective at your AJAX request, subscribe to the ajaxBeforeSend (not sure if the event name is right check jQ docs) event and log the xhr object.
