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

I wouldn't use the dataType if it is causing you issues, also I've personally not used an object as the data value before maybe that has something to do with it?

Anyway I've tweaked the main ajax routine I hope this helps.

$.ajax(
{
   url: 'UpdateComments.php',
   type: 'POST',
   data: 
   {
      type: "add",
      comment: $("#comment").val(),
      id: videoID  
   },
   success: function (response) 
   {
       //Get the data variables from json and display them on page
       var data = $.parseJSON(response);
       alert(data.id);
   }
});
