Php To Json, Little Issue.

[Solarpitch]

Hey Guys,

 

I'm sending a php array in JSON to a JS function like this:

 

$arr= array(
'a' => "Gerard",
'b' => "Jonathan"
);

echo json_encode($arr);

 

I can see it's being sent like:

{"a":"Gerard","b":"Jonathan"}

However, when I try and retrieve it in the javascript function below I get an error:

 

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected non-whitespace character after JSON data

 

obj = JSON.parse(response);

$.post('http://site.comi/ajaxApiCall', 'val=' + val, function (response) {

 obj = JSON.parse(response);
 alert(obj['a']);
});

 

Still get the error even if I dont use JSON.parse. Just not sure where I'm going wrong.

Tried trimming the response, before parsing it as JSON? Should fix the problem.

Also, sounds like you might have some whitespaces after the closing PHP tag in the file that generates the JSON response.

No whitespace after PHP tag also tried:

 

 var res = $.trim(response);
 obj = JSON.parse(res);

 

but still seem to get the same message,.
