I encountered an error that I'm struggling to pinpoint. The issue seems to be related to the presence of the ' symbol in the JSON data. After thoroughly checking, I am positive that the PHP function json_encode is not responsible for adding this symbol at the beginning.
Despite scouring through StackOverflow and various other platforms, I have yet to come across a solution tailored to this specific predicament.
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ' in JSON at position 0
at parse (<anonymous>)
at e.parseJSON (jquery-migrate.min.js:2)
at fn (jquery.min.js:6)
at k (jquery.min.js:6)
at XMLHttpRequest.<anonymous> (jquery.min.js:6)
Shown below is the PHP script responsible for generating the JSON string.
$info = Embed\Embed::create($videoUrl);
$result = array();
$result['title'] = $info->title;
$result['desciption'] = $info->description;
$result['type'] = $info->type;
$result['tags'] = $info->tags;
$result['provider'] = $info->providerName;
echo json_encode($result,true);
Additionally, here's the jQuery code utilized for executing a post request.
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#videoUrl").blur(function (event) {
if ($(this).val() != '') {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/url-here',
dataType: 'json',
data: {
"value": $(this).val()
},
success: function (msg) {
alert("Data Saved: " + msg);
},
error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.log(errorThrown.message);
}
})
}
});
});
The Chrome console output provides a glimpse of the sample response received.
'{"title":"Inside of big gold mine in Africa. How it works. Documentary.","desciption":"Deepest mine in Africa.","type":"video","tags":["Megastructures","mine","gold","deepest mine","documentary","Deepest","how it works"],"provider":"YouTube"}
EDIT:
Upon request, I am sharing the entire PHP code snippet below.
public function getVideoDetails() {
OW::getResponse()->clearHeaders();
OW::getResponse()->setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json; charset=utf-8');
$videoUrl = $_POST['value'];
$info = Embed\Embed::create($videoUrl);
$result = array();
$result['title'] = $info->title;
$result['description'] = $info->description;
$result['type'] = $info->type;
$result['tags'] = $info->tags;
//$result['image'] = $info->image;
$result['provider'] = $info->providerName;
echo json_encode($result, true);
OW::getResponse() - > sendHeaders();
exit;
}
