So I have a WordPress.org site with the plugin Really Simple SSL and I’d like to use ajax/JSON
to update the database.
The thing is that, with the help of our friend @BadHorsie
here, I was able to identify that the plugin is appending <!-- Really Simple SSL mixed content fixer active -->
after the json_encode()
value.
This is a bookmark system, so there is only 1 button.
When it’s clicked it adds a course in the database but if the course is already there, it removes it.
Server side:
if($isFavorito) {
echo json_encode(array("bookmark" => 1));
} else {
echo json_encode(array("bookmark" => 0));
}
Client side:
<script>
function addItemToUsersList(userId, type, itemId) {
jQuery.ajax({
'url': 'xxx',
'type': 'GET',
'dataType': 'json',
'data': {userid: userId, type: type, itemid: itemId},
'success': function(data) {
console.log('success');
},
'beforeSend': function() {
console.log('beforeSending');
},
'error': function(jqXHR, status, error) {
console.log(status);
console.log(error);
console.log(jqXHR.responseText);
}
});
}
</script>
And it logs:
beforeSending
parsererror
SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 14(…)
{"bookmark":0}<!-- Really Simple SSL mixed content fixer active -->
The PHP is working fine, I’ve tested it without the ajax/json and it adds/removes the thing I want in the MySQL database.
I know it’s the plugins that’s making this issue because I’ve deactivated the plugin and the console.log()
logged success
;
How may I make this to work properly? The right way or hacky way is fine!
Maybe a way to trim the {"bookmark":0}<!-- Really Simple SSL mixed content fixer active -->
to {"bookmark":0}
?
