I know there is also however I think this is probablynot a wordpress specific question:

$.get(
    ajax.url, 
    {
        'action': 'ajax',
    }, 
    function( response, status, xhr ) {
        $('ul.event-items').append(response);
        }
);

I'm calling a regular wordpress function that has no 0 in it or whatsoever.

However after every ajax-request I get a trailing zero appended to my document.

How can I fix this? I tried using die(); in my function however the rest of my script will not get rendered in that case.

Is there an easy JS-fix like subsrting() to remove the trailing 0 from my html response?

Kind regards, Matt

• javascript
• php
• jquery
• ajax

• can you show the string? also try to find out any unwanted echo statements – Nouphal.M Commented Jan 26, 2014 at 18:21
• You could use a conditional js substr() and check if the last character is '0' and lop it off it is. I'd wanna know where its ing from though, cause it might turn into something else later on. – dgo Commented Jan 26, 2014 at 18:26

The documentation uses wp_die() at the end of the php function to prevent the 0 (and presumably other problems too).

"wp_die(); // this is required to terminate immediately and return a proper response"

Link to docs

Try this:

...
$('ul.event-items').append(response.substr(response.length-1, 1) === '0'? response.substr(0, response.length-1) : response);

Example

Extract characters from a string:

var str = "Hello world!";
var res = str.substring(1,4);
The result of res will be:
