jQuery Ajax call when using PHP Xdebug hangs web app

Question

When using php Xdebug and sending the ajax call below it hangs and never finishes. But if I don't use Xdebug it works fine.

Also, if I use <form action="/controllers/scannerController.php" method="post"> to send the post it works. Has anyone encountered this problem before or can provide a solution?

function submitScannedText(){
    jQuery.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: '../controllers/scannerController.php',
        data: {text: $("#scannerEntry").val() },
            });
}

Answer 1

Can you try to add enctype: 'multipart/form-data', below type: "POST", please ?

Ajax will maybe now send it the same way as your <form action="/controllers/scannerController.php" method="post"> do and PHP can handle it the same way. Please let me know if it worked :)

Also if it's not working you should also add processData : false, .
