    copied!<p>I have an AJAX function in WordPress that calls a PHP function to return the value of a transient record in the Database.</p> <p>When I call the function using jQuery, I receive the result however it always has an extra 0 (zero) appended to the value.</p> <p>Here is my jQuery function:</p> <pre><code>(function($) { $(document).ready( function() { var AdvancedDashboardWidget = function(element, options) { var ele = $(element); var settings = $.extend({ action: '', service: '', countof: '', query: '', callback:'' }, options || {}); this.count=0; var url=''; switch(settings.service) { case 'facebook': if(settings.countof=='likes' || settings.countof=='talks') { ajaxCall(action,ele,settings); } } }; var ajaxCall = function(action,ele,settings){ opts = { url: ajaxurl, // ajaxurl is defined by WordPress and points to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php type: 'POST', async: true, cache: false, dataType: 'json', data:{ action: settings.action // Tell WordPress how to handle this ajax request }, success:function(response) { //alert(response); ele.html(response); return; }, error: function(xhr,textStatus,e) { // This can be expanded to provide more information alert(e); //alert('There was an error'); return; } }; $.ajax(opts); }; $.fn.advanceddashboardwidget = function(options) { return this.each(function() { var element = $(this); // Return early if this element already has a plugin instance if (element.data('advanceddashboardwidget')) return; // pass options to plugin constructor var advanceddashboardwidget = new AdvancedDashboardWidget(this, options); // Store plugin object in this element's data element.data('advanceddashboardwidget', advanceddashboardwidget); }); }; }); })(jQuery); </code></pre> <p>There are more helper functions involved however this is the main jQuery function that communicates with WordPress and returns the value of the PHP function.</p> <p>The issue is that if the value is returned as "<code>99</code>" for example it will be returned as "<code>990</code>"</p> <p><strong>Here is the PHP function that jQuery is calling:</strong></p> <pre><code>/** * Get Facebook Likes */ public function get_facebook_likes(){ echo 99; } </code></pre> <p>If I change the above to <code>return 99;</code> I receive plain 0</p>
