[SOLVED] Ajax call from module

[PhpMadman]

Hello i'm working on a module that has a fron controller that makes and ajax call.

The ajax works, but the return of the jsonData does not.

This is my JS file.

$(document).ready(function(){
	var query = $.ajax({
		type: 'POST',
		url: baseDir + 'modules/pim/pim-ajax.php',
		data: 'method=myMethod&data=x',
		dataType: 'json',
		success: function(jsonData) {
			console.log(jsonData); // this is null!?
			alert('Wee');
		}
	});
});

And this is the ajax file.

<?php
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'../../../config/config.inc.php');
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'../../../init.php');
switch (Tools::getValue('method')) {
  case 'myMethod' :
    die(Tools::jsonEncode( array('result'=>'my_value'));
    break;
  default:
    exit;
}

When refreshing the page. I get the Wee alert, but the console says the jsonData is null.

I'm using 1.6.0.6.

 

What am I missing here?

add:

print_r($_POST);

before:

switch (Tools::getValue('method')) {
  case 'myMethod' :
    die(Tools::jsonEncode( array('result'=>'my_value'));
    break;
  default:
    exit;
} 

turn on browser console ctrl+shift+j in chrome, then try to call this ajax query.

what you see in console output RETURN value for this ajax query?

I did some more testing.

my ajax file now has this.

<?php
echo('before config');
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'../../../config/config.inc.php');
echo('before init');
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'../../../init.php');
echo('[-[');
print_r($_POST);
echo(']-]');
switch (Tools::getValue('method')) {
  case 'myMethod' :
    die(Tools::jsonEncode( array('result'=>'my_value'));
    break;
  default:
    exit;
}

Nothin gets pritend.

It's working now!

<?php
include_once(dirname(__FILE__).'../../../config/config.inc.php');
include_once(dirname(__FILE__).'../../../init.php');
switch (Tools::getValue('method')) {
    case 'myMethod' :
        $return = array('result' => 'my really shitty value');
        echo json_encode($return);
        break;
    default:
        exit;
}
?>

So... My guess, it was the require_once that screwed with it.
