Question

I asked this question before the weekend and am still stuck despite following the advice. This time I will post all of the relevant code in the hope someone can help me get to the bottom of this.

Important note: the data store and model work perfectly when I statically enter the data into the data store using the data: [{ json data }] parameter of the store. But doing it using ajax proxy fails (even though I can see in chrome that test.php gets called and echoes out the json data (see test.php below).

This is my store:

new Ext.data.Store({
        model: "SearchResult",
        proxy: {
            type: "ajax",
            url : "test.php",
            extraParams : 'test',
            reader: {
                type: "json",
            }
        },

    }); 

I load it when a button is clicked on via a handler.

Here is what is echoed out in test.php:

<?php
echo "[{stock: 'Tommy', storePhone: '353535', year: '1984', make: 'Ferrari', trim: 'trim', miles: '12345', storename: 'branch name' }]";
?>

Been stuck on this for a while so any help much appreciated!

Answer 1

It;s not enough to echo a string that looks like your json … you should use php methods to encode it … for your example it will be

<?php
    $data = array(array('stock'=> 'Tommy', 'storePhone'=> 353535, 'year'=> '1984', 'make'=> 'Ferrari', 'trim'=> 'trim', 'miles'=> '12345', 'storename'=> 'branch name' ));
    echo json_encode($data);
?>
