How do I request AJAX external json?

Hello, I've managed according to the tutorials to use the local json file through the files folder. Now I would like to tryout hosted version of it.

I've tried to use the AJAX request , but nothing worked, then I've tried to setup a php file index.php with the following contents

<?php

echo date ("h:i:s");

?>[/code:3o6rnsop]

Just to try and output it, but nothing working so far.

What am I doing wrong?

try:

<?php

header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');

echo date ("h:i:s");

?>[/code:2iidrdkd]

I've managed according to the tutorials to use the local json file through the files folder. Now I would like to try out hosted version of it.I've tried to use the AJAX request http://www.site.com/file.json, but nothing worked...

so..let's say.. you upload json file on your site

http://www.StanBond.com/gamefolder/file.json[/code:2ufvxgix]
and than you use

in [b]Preview[/b](on localhost) this request will most likely fail & in [url=https://developer.chrome.com/devtools#console]console[/url] you will see something like

you can bypass this ...with small PHP file(file.php)
[code:2ufvxgix]<?php
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
$myfile = file_get_contents('http://www.StanBond.com/gamefolder/file.json');
echo $myfile;
 exit;
?>[/code:2ufvxgix]
upload this in your [i]gamefolder[/i] 
[code:2ufvxgix]http://www.StanBond.com/gamefolder/file.php[/code:2ufvxgix]
and now  you  request

I really don't know if this is a good way....but works..

I was also worried about the usability of this approach, and as in the most cases there is a need to read generated by the server json, I've decided to assign the json string onto the variable and echo it.

<?php

header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
header('Content-Type: application/json');

$string = '{"c2array":true,"size":[3,10,1],"data":[[[0],[0],[0],[0],[0],[0],[0],[0],[0],[0]],[["Nameless"],[1000],[100],[100],[10],[10],[50],[10],[10],[0]],[[0],[0],[0],[0],[0],[0],[0],[0],[0],[0]]]}';

echo ($string);
?>
