is_ajax_request does not recognized XMLHttpRequest

Not sure what JavaScript  or framework your using some do not send the HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH header. jQuery doe's send it.


You can try this and see what you get this is the old way that we use to do it.

Code:

define('IS_AJAX', isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) == 'xmlhttprequest');

if(IS_AJAX) {
   ... it's an AJAX request so do something ...
}
else {
   ... it's not an AJAX request so do something else ...
}

You can place the define in your ./application/config/constants.php file or were you want.

You may need to send the header yourself.

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?
