AJAX response in alert box

JavaScript
1

I have the following in my PHP function:

if($this->page->add_blog_post($post_title, $post_author, $post_content, $file_name))
{
	http_response_code(200);
	echo "The blogpost was successfully added to the database.";	
}

When I return that to a div:

$(responseMessages).text(response);

Everything works fine! However when I try to get the response in a alert box:

window.alert(response);

the insert is ok but I get all kind of extra data returned. How do I get that simple echo from the PHP in a alert box

What extra data do you see in the alert?

Well, solve those notices, which you should do anyway, and the problem is gone :slight_smile:

@rpkamp. Thank you very much for your attention. I should copy and paste a bit less than things probably go a lot faster. I feel very embarrassed.

No worries. And indeed, it is most of the time better to take things slow and do them correct than rush it through and having to clean up the mess later.
