Problem parsing through Ajax a JSON data fetched by PHP file-CodePudding

I have difficulty parsing JSON date from my PHP file

{"date":"20\/12\/2022","result":"£13000.00","medias":"BBC","country":"UK"}

but when I try to parse it and to see the data in the console.log - it's empty

Please help

My Ajax Function

function ajax_call(){
    const style2 = $("#style1").val();
    const radio_btn = $('input[name="drone"]:checked').val();
    if(style2==""){
        document.getElementById("error").innerHTML = "Error: Please enter style code !"; 
        return false;
    } 
    {
        $.ajax({ 
            type: 'post',
            url: "t.php",  
            data: { styles: style2 , country: radio_btn},
            dataType: "json",
            success: function(data){  
                var jsondata = $.parseJSON(data);
                console.log(jsondata);
            }
        })
    }
}

My PHP

<php

header('Content-type: application/json');
$date = "20/12/2020";
$end_result = "£13000.00";
$medias = "BBC";
$country = "UK";

$sortjson = array('date' => $date,  
                    'result' =>iconv('Windows-1252', 'UTF-8', $end_result), 
                    'medias' => $medias, 
                    'country' => $country
            );

echo json_encode($sortjson, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);
?>

I believe there is a typo in the PHP code, you need to change the first line from:

<php

<?php

If the first line is <php, the output won't be valid JSON.

Complete PHP code:

<?php

header('Content-type: application/json');
$date = "20/12/2020";
$end_result = "£13000.00";
$medias = "BBC";
$country = "UK";

$sortjson = array('date' => $date,  'result' =>iconv('Windows-1252', 'UTF-8', $end_result), 'medias' => $medias, 'country' => $country);


echo json_encode($sortjson, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);

?>

Also, I'm not 100% sure you need the iconv call, you could try the below code:

<?php

header('Content-type: application/json');
$date = "20/12/2020";
$end_result = "£13000.00";
$medias = "BBC";
$country = "UK";

$sortjson = array('date' => $date,  'result' => $end_result, 'medias' => $medias, 'country' => $country);

echo json_encode($sortjson, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);

?>

You have a error in your Success method:

use JSON.parse() method instead of $.parseJSON()

success: function(data){  

   var jsondata = JSON.parse(data);
   console.log(jsondata);
}

CodePudding user response：

You have to use JSON.parse()

function ajax_call(){
const style2 = $("#style1").val();
const radio_btn = $('input[name="drone"]:checked').val();
if(style2==""){document.getElementById("error").innerHTML = "Error: Please enter style code !"; return false;} {
$.ajax({ 
    type: 'post',
    url: "t.php",  
    data: { styles: style2 , country: radio_btn},
                  dataType: "json",
                 success: function(data){  
   var jsondata = JSON.parse(data);
        console.log(jsondata);
}
})
}
}
