I have problem on json it is only displaying " Content-Type: text/html" I am testing on localhost and my online code is

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

header('Content-Type: application/javascript');
//header('Content-type: text/javascript');
//header('Content-type: application/json');

why do you not use `application/json`? – Lucas Sep 30 '12 at 07:09 — Lucas, Sep 30 '12 at 07:09

why are you inserting this much of header only put this header `header('Content-type: application/json'); ` for getting `json` output data. – Yogesh Suthar Sep 30 '12 at 11:55
