Question

I’m pretty sure it’s an obvious error somewhere on this – but let me explain what I’m donig :

I’m calling a PHP file via jQuery as follows :

$.getJSON("/phpincs/getbucket.php?awskey="+awskey+"&awssecret="+awssecret+"&bucket="+bucket,
    function(json){
        $.each(json,function(i,item){
        $(new Option(item.name,item.name)).appendTo('#bucket_contents_0');
        });
    }

and the JSON file it returns is as follows :

Array
(
    [bt_shop.png] => Array
        (
            [name] => bt_shop.png
            [time] => 1260393948
            [size] => 156985
            [hash] => 8a4eba621d5e08b84c962a0ad21ec2ae
        )

    [me_profile.jpg] => Array
        (
            [name] => me_profile.jpg
            [time] => 1260393952
            [size] => 2714
            [hash] => 4f5d185b0c671e6165902762681f098b
        )

    [thumbnail.aspx.jpeg] => Array
        (
            [name] => thumbnail.aspx.jpeg
            [time] => 1260393951
            [size] => 5268
            [hash] => 6939efa58ff7ffcac17218ffdd0d5d8c
        )

)
true

for some reason it doesn’t seem to fire the function(json){} – I’ve stuck an alert(”); in and it doesn’t do anything.

Can someone quickly explain to me what seems to be going wrong there?

Cheers,

Carl

Answer 1

It is more than likely not calling the callback function because it doesn’t look like what you are returning is json. If you have an $variable defined that contains your array…call

echo json_encode($jsondata); exit;

At the end of your script.
