I am trying to to extract a Json response in jquery sent from a php file. This is the .js code:
$.ajax({
url: 'index.php?page=register', //This is the current doc
type: 'POST',
datatype: 'json',
data: {'userCheck': username},
success: function(data){
// Check if username is available or not
},
error: function(){
alert('Much wrong, such sad');
}
});
This is the response from the php file:
if($sth->fetchColumn()!=0){
//$response = array("taken");
$response = array("username"=>"taken");
echo json_encode($response);
//echo '{"username':'taken"}';
}else{
//$response = array("available");
$response = array("username"=>"available");
echo json_encode($response);
//echo '{"username":"available"}';
}
I have tried all combinations I can think of in both files, but nothing seems to work. It is a simple check for a username in the database. If I console log the data I get from the response, I get this:
{"username":"available"}<!DOCTYPE html>
// The rest of the page html
So the info is there, but how do I access it? I have tried several syntaxes found around the internet, but no luck so far. I seem to recall that a json response only can contain valid json, so is the problem the html? I don't think I can avoid this due to the structure of my application, so hopefully it is possible to access the json with my present structure.

in you Ajax
EDIT:
change
datatype:"json",
the case of parameter name was not respected, the t must be T
dataType:"json",
now retry please
$.ajax
({
url: 'index.php?page=register', //This is the current doc
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
data: {'userCheck': username},
success: function(data)
{
// Check if username is available or not
switch(data.username)
{
case "available":
// do you want
break;
case "taken":
// do you want
break;
}
},
error: function()
{
alert('Much wrong, such sad');
}
});
in PHP
simply that, and don't forget to exit; to avoid include html page in your json response ! This is the code coming after the }".... who break your json output and make it unreadable by javascript (worste, it simply break your javascript !)
echo json_encode(["username"=> ($sth->fetchColumn()!=0) ? "taken":"available"]);
exit;
