Hello,
I’m doing an ajax call in Electron that only fails sometimes. If I copy and paste the data into the php server file, it works 100% of time. Sadly, this is killing my workflow, and it happens on a few important ajax calls. The error says invalid json, invalid token ‘<’.
Jquery - 3.6.1
Ajax:
$.ajax({
url: 'http://localhost/OtherRealms/php/scripts/update_character_xml_field.php',
dataType: 'json',
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
data: pipSkillData,
success: function( data, textStatus, jQxhr ){
//console.log(data);
},
error: function( jqXhr, textStatus, errorThrown ){
console.log( errorThrown );
}
// End updata skill
});
// end fetch skill tier
},
error: function( jqXhr, textStatus, errorThrown ){
console.log( errorThrown );
}
});
The server code shouldn’t be needed. I’ll just share what I’ve placed at the top for data.
$data[‘characterToken’] = ‘2205d49f4165e46eb3b65e32a1fa02d3’;
Here's a couple of images

If this can't be solved is there a work around? Would vanilla Ajax calls be better?
That’s probably the start of a php error from the server-side code. What does the full response show in the browser’s developer tools network tab?
Wow, you just taught me some important debugging technique. There is an error on the script. On line 50. My xml file is opening as bool. But I don’t know why in that instance. Because it works several other times…
Line 50 is this line:
$charactersDoc = simplexml_load_file($charactersXML);
But the entire script is pretty straight forward…

So here is the error:
BlockquoteWarning : simplexml_load_file(): file:/C:/xampp/htdocs/OtherRealms/php/scripts…/…/…/…/…/Yen7AaH9rb/database/characters.xml:1: parser error : Document is empty in C:\xampp\htdocs\OtherRealms\php\scripts\advance_balance.php on line 57 Warning : simplexml_load_file(): in C:\xampp\htdocs\OtherRealms\php\scripts\advance_balance.php on line 57 Warning : simplexml_load_file(): ^ in C:\xampp\htdocs\OtherRealms\php\scripts\advance_balance.php on line 57 Fatal error : Uncaught Error: Call to a member function asXML() on bool in C:\xampp\htdocs\OtherRealms\php\scripts\advance_balance.php:58#0 {main}C:\xampp\htdocs\OtherRealms\php\scripts\advance_balance.php on line 58
This is strange. So simple xml is saying the document is empty sometimes, and it seems only in Jquery ajax calls from Electron. It’s not every time either. Just when it’s convenient to mess with me, lol. I can’t seem to emulate an error just landing on the script file.
