Access-Control-Allow-Origin'

[lilmer]

Hello good day,

 

I have a problem running an HTML5 mobile app. I am using Intel XDK as an IDE to build an android mobile application, on my desktop simulator of Intel XDK, AJAX call are working fine but when I to run the app on my mobile device using USB debugger ajax call is not working, it gives me an error of 

XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://www.site.com/index.php?mobile/loginauthenticate. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'file://' is therefore not allowed access. 

on my server side code I already put

header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', "*");

as it is needed to accept data from cross browsing, but still I get the same error, anyone that knows what did I done wrong ?

Here's my ajax request code:

 
var URL = 'https://www.site.com/index.php?mobile/';
$.ajax({
                type:"POST",
                url:URL+'loginauthenticate',
                data:{email:email,password:password},
                dataType:'json',            
                beforeSend: function(){
                 $.ui.showMask('Logging in...');  
                }
            }).success(function(data){    
              
                var object = data;
                   if(object.result === 'yes'){
                       $.ui.manageHistory=false;
                        sessionToken = object.sessionToken;
                        logged = true;
                        localStorage.setItem('sessionToken',sessionToken);
                        localStorage.setItem('logged',true);
                        localStorage.setItem('email',email);
                        $.ui.hideMask();  
                        //$.ui.loadContent("#account_page");
                        processAccount(sessionToken);
                   }else{
                       $.ui.hideMask();  
                      alert(data.error);
                   }
                 console.log(object);
                    
            }).error(function(xhr, status, error){
                 $.ui.hideMask();   
                console.log(xhr);      
                 console.log(status);      
                 console.log(xhr);      
               
            });

How about posting the PHP code?

    public function cors(){


            // Allow from any origin
            if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ORIGIN'])) {
                header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: {$_SERVER['HTTP_ORIGIN']}");
                header('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true');
                header('Access-Control-Max-Age: 86400');    // cache for 1 day
            }

            // Access-Control headers are received during OPTIONS requests
            if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'OPTIONS') {

                if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCESS_CONTROL_REQUEST_METHOD']))
                    header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, OPTIONS");         

                if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCESS_CONTROL_REQUEST_HEADERS']))
                    header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers: {$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCESS_CONTROL_REQUEST_HEADERS']}");

                exit(0);
            }

    }

public function loginauthenticate(){
        $this->cors();
        header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', "*");
     
}

I did not include the authentication function for validating the POST request. I think the problem is when trying to request on that URL.
