SyntaxError: JSON.parse: Unexpected Character

I have a JSON parse error that I can't debug. Code below: $(document).on('submit', '#confirmreset', function(event) { event.preventDefault(); var action_url = $(this).attr

Solution 1:

You don't need to call $.parseJSON if the server is sending valid JSON as jQuery will parse it automatically when it retrieves the response. I don't know the exact criteria, but if you set the Content-type: application/json header it definitely will.

Solution 2:

This error can be caused by using single quotation marks (') instead of double (") for strings.

The JSON spec requires double quotation marks for strings.

Solution 3:

1. Only put these=>

   dataType: 'text', // what to expect back from the PHP script, if anything cache: false, contentType: false, processData: false,
