Failed to return / process JSON in JQuery $ .get ()

I have an issue with returning / processing JSON data when calling $ .get () function. Here's the code:
JQuery:

$.get("script.php?",
        function(data) {
            if (data.status) {
                alert('ok');
            } else {
                alert(data.error);
            }               
    },'json');

PHP 

if ($r) {
    $ret = array("status"=>true);
} else {
    $ret = array("status"=>false,"error"=>$error);
}
echo json_encode( $ret );

So this is the code. But the answer is always accepted as a string in jquery. data.status and data.error undefined

.

You need to use jQuery 1.4.x, otherwise you will have to parse the returned data yourself.



data = JSON.parse(data);

Your PHP script needs to set the Content-type

response header to application/json

, for example:

header('Content-type: application/json');


Alternatively, you can tell jQuery to return JSON using a parameter dataType

. Or just use getJSON

that does exactly that. :-)

Edit Sorry, just noticed: youpass the parameter dataType

to get

. My suggestion is to take a close look at the response text: is it really JSON? ( This site can help there.) From your quoted PHP it looks like it should be, but if there was any other way out before or after ...
