JSON is not Retrieved When Put on the Server but Does Work on Localhost using XAMPP

Question

I'm having a problem, my code works in XAMPP. However, it is not working once I put it in the server, I host it with fatcow, it seems that they work json and php 5.2.

I'm using Jquery and Json, two commands I'm using to retrive the data $.getJSON and $.post, I'm using two libraries src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js" type="text/javascript"> jquery.json.js

I have no clue what is the problem, the json encode outputs json data, but my code from js doesn't retrive it doesn't seem that it copies to the array i have with $.getJson. I dont understand, all help will be greatly appretiated.

Answer 1

Looks like your JSON data is not returned due to the Cross Origin Resource Sharing policy (CORS).

You can solve this problem by:

• Putting the JSON file in the same domain as the Javascript/HTML file that requests it

OR

• By adding the header:

  Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

to your JSON file.
