I'm making a phone app using PhoneGap with PHP on the server side. the Login function has been working fine, but AJAX returns an error [object Object] while PHP returns the correct value's in JSON.
it's for making a phone app for an existing website and using its database.
the data my PHP prints is correct yet I receive an error response from ajax.
Alert(response)
Gives an [object Object] return value on error
whenever I try alert(response.val) I strangely get undefined, but in the network, I can see the printed data is correct in JSON.
{{"user_id":"390","response":"Success"}}
but when I look in the console on my browser I see an unexpected error.
Unexpected parameter ':'
my ajax function is as follows
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#btnLogin").click(function () {
var gebr = $("#login_username").val().trim();
var pass = $("#login_password").val().trim();
var dataString = "username=" + gebr + "&password=" + pass + "&login=";
var msg = "";
$("#message").html("Authenticating...");
if (gebr != "" && pass != "") {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: dataString,
dataType: "json",
//contentType: "application/javascript",
crossDomain: true,
url: "http://url/page/app/index.php?&jsoncallback=?",
headers: "application/json",
success: function (response) {
var user_id = response.user_id;
var success = response.response;
localStorage.setItem("user_id", user_id);
window.location = "home.html";
alert("login successfull");
},
error: function (response) {
$("#message").html("error..");
alert(response);
}
});
} else {
msg = "Please fill all fields!";
$("#message").html(msg);
}
return false;
});
PHP
header('Content-type: application/json');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST');
$gebruikersnaam = $_REQUEST['username'];
$wachtwoord = md5($_REQUEST['password']);
$user = [];
//if user and password are filled
if (!empty($gebruikersnaam) && isset($wachtwoord)) {
//checks if user_id has been found
if (!$found_user_id) {
$msg = "user not found!";
print json_encode($msg);
} else {
if (($gebruikersnaam == $user['gebruikersnaam'] && $wachtwoord == $user['wachtwoord']) && ((!empty($user['single_allowed_ip_address_for_login']) && $user['single_allowed_ip_address_for_login'] == $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])|| empty($user['single_allowed_ip_address_for_login']))) {
//responds with this data
$user_id = $user['user_id'];
$response[] = array(
'user_id' => $user_id,
'response' => 'Success'
);
print json_encode($response);
} else {
$msg = "user is incorrect";
print json_encode($msg);
}
}
}
I have been wanting to get a successful response and saving the user_id in local storage so it can be used on a different page.
Edit: after using console.log on the response i got an odd object.
abort: function abort()
always: function always()
catch: function catch()
done: function add()
fail: function add()
getAllResponseHeaders: function getAllResponseHeaders()
getResponseHeader: function getResponseHeader()
overrideMimeType: function overrideMimeType()
pipe: function pipe()
progress: function add()
promise: function promise()
readyState: 4
setRequestHeader: function setRequestHeader()
state: function state()
status: 200
statusCode: function statusCode()
statusText: "load"
then: function then()
<prototype>: {…
which is strange because none of these functions are made and the only thing which i can recognize is the statuscode.
