HI

My problem is that on localhost i have no error, but once i put the php pages on my web server fails with this error

DataTables warning (table id = 'dataTable'): DataTables warning: JSON data from server could not be parsed. This is caused by a JSON formatting error.

Has anyone any idea on what's happening

Thanks

    The error means exactly what it says - the server is returning invalid JSON!

    Please link to a debug trace or test case as noted in the forum rules if we are to be able to offer any help - although it would likely just be pointing out what the invalid JSON data is. Look at the XHR return in your browser to see what it is.

    thanks for your comment, i have to tell you that after seeing how to use firebug i solved my problem, it was a variable not declared :S

    Thanks so much

    Is there anyway to suppress such warnings rather than fixing them?

    Why would you want to ignore JSON formatting errors? Bad JSON means no table data.

    Its not really a warning - its an error. An error on the part of the data sent back by the server. It should be sending JSON. If you see this message - then it is not. Thus an error and not something you want to ignore!
