What is the ajax call returning? (Developer tools -> network -> response)

Your ajax call is making a get request, which will return

Route::get('/', 'StartController@index');

which isn't returning json

You would need to update your javascript to make a post request or change your ajax route in routes.php to a get request

Thanks for replying, I made a few changes yesterday and managed to get the JSON data returned that i requested, although occasionally on page refresh i see a 500 (internal server error) Error in the console

firstly while testing - i removed the datatype from the ajax call and found i had somehow managed to return a complete html form back to my script lol.

i removed the slash from the ajax call (url:'update',)

then i changed the 2nd Route from POST to GET

Route::get('/','StartController@update');

then in the controller i changed the return to

return json_encode(array('test'=>'Hello'));

which worked - before changing it back to the result from the Test::all();

return $data;

it works but i don't understand the 500 (internal server error)??

Thanks - i missed that one, i tried his syntax substituting my data which give me a 500 (internal server error) every call also he doesn't use the session token in his example.

i had this running in codeigniter within minutes.....

I'm using Xampp for my tests and i have no php errors in the log and the apache log just shows the 500 message - no clues.

Can you post your routes.php, controller and view?
