I am using jquery datatables and I want to display data which is present in the database. I used the foloowing code:
$(document).ready(function() {
var oTable = $('#example').dataTable( {
"bProcessing": true,
"sAjaxSource": "server.php",
"aoColumns": [
{ "mData": "f_name" },
{ "mData": "l_name" },
{ "mData": "email" },
{ "mData": "active_date" }
]
} );
} );
But I am getting json formatting error saying that json data from server could not be passes. I want to know what file should be passes in sAjaxSource so that my data from the database is displayed? Right now I am passing server.php which contains my database connectivity code
Help would be appreciated here is my server.php file.. but I am getting the json formatting error.
