I am working on a very simple notepad application. The user may fetch "a file" (in reality it is just a row from MySQL) to edit it.
When submitting the form directly to the php file ( just remove e.preventDetfault ), the output is the json encoded output I want:
{"data":{"filename":"testfile","content":"this is the file content","lastupdate":"2016-03-06 13:13:30"}}
However, when ran through the below Ajax call, it always returns SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input.
The form
<form id="openfile" action="backend.php" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="filename" placeholder="Enter filename to open" id="filename" />
</form>
The jQuery AJAX call
$("#openfile").submit(function(e) {
var filename = $("#filename").val();
openFile(filename);
e.preventDefault();
});
function openFile(filename) {
if(filename == "") {
return false;
}
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "backend.php",
data: {action: "load", file: filename},
success: function(response) {
console.log(response);
},
error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.log("Status: " + textStatus);
console.log("Error: " + errorThrown);
}
});
}
The backend
try {
$db = new PDO(DB_DSN, DB_USER, DB_PASS);
$sql = "SELECT `filename`, `content`, `lastupdate`
FROM `notepad`
WHERE `filename` = :filename
LIMIT 1";
$sth = $db->prepare($sql);
$sth->bindParam(":filename", $_POST['file'], PDO::PARAM_STR);
$sth->execute();
if($sth->rowCount() != 0) {
$result = $sth->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$response['data'] = $result;
//echo json_encode($result);
} else {
$response['error'] = "File does not exist";
}
} catch(PDOException $e) {
$response['error'] = $e->getMessage();
}
// Return json data
echo json_encode($response);
I know for sure the correct data is being sent (chrome dev tools -> network).
Using a nearly identical ajax call to save a file works just fine.
Your question is similar to: Chrome: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input
Try to add headers application/json
for your response:
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($response);
Have you tried specifying the dataType as Json?
ie
dataType: 'json',
in your Ajax call.
You're sending back a json object, but you haven't specified the return type.
