I have a GET form that gets a Php Array and json encodes it. The Issue I am having is the success data is not displaying. I want the success to display data in a Alert or console but for some reason it's not working. I have tried many options. Thanks for your help.
PS: I know the GET and all files work because when I got the script the Ajax response result would populate/append a table successfully. I am modifying it.
Here is the php index file with the AJAX:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Return JSON response from AJAX using jQuery and PHP</title>
<link href="style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="jquery-3.1.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajax({
url: 'ajaxfile.php',
type: 'get',
dataType: 'JSON',
success: function(data) {
var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
alert(obj.username);
}
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Here is the php file that queries the database and encodes/array json:
<?php
$return_arr = array();
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY NAME";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
// Check database connection first
if ($conn->query($sql) === FALSE) {
echo 'database connection failed';
die();
} else {
while($row = $result->fetch_array()) {
$id = $row['id'];
$username = $row['username'];
$name = $row['name'];
$email = $row['email'];
$return_arr[] = array("id" => $id,
"username" => $username,
"name" => $name,
"email" => $email);
}
// Encoding array in JSON format
echo json_encode($return_arr);
}
?>
echo json_encode array output from the php file looks like below (test content):
[{"id":"1","username":"jiten","name":"Jiten singh","email":"jiten9"},{"id":"2","username":"kuldeep","name":"Kuldeep","email":"kuldee"},{"id":"3","username":"mayank","name":"Mayank","email":"mayank"},{"id":"9","username":"mohit","name":"Mohit","email":"mohit"},{"id":"13","username":"mukesh","name":"Mukesh","email":"mukesh"},{"id":"6","username":"nitin","name":"Nitin","email":"niti"},{"id":"12","username":"palash","name":"Palash","email":"palash"},{"id":"7","username":"rahul","name":"Rahul singh","email":"rahul"},{"id":"10","username":"rohit","name":"Rohit singh","email":"rohit"},{"id":"8","username":"shreya","name":"Shreya","email":"shreyam"},{"id":"11","username":"sonarika","name":"Sonarika","email":"sonarika"},{"id":"5","username":"vijay","name":"Vijay","email":"vijayec"},{"id":"14","username":"vishal","name":"Vishal Sahu","email":"visha"},{"id":"4","username":"yssyogesh","name":"Yogesh singh","email":"yoges"}]
when I make the success result (data) and alert(data), this is what I get,empty objects
