Some **OK** code in my controller beaks CodeIgniter: output goes totally blank.

Lines 34-37:

Code:

$out = array(
                'status': 'OK',
                'results': array()
            );

The annoyance of using multiple languages at once - you defined your array in javascript style

A simple correction removes the syntax errors, so hopefully this will solve the issue:

Code:

$out = array(
                'status' => 'OK',
                'results' => array()
            );

One downside to CI is this blank-screen problem, where in pure PHP it would always output _something_.

My solution is using step-through debugging - you just advance one line at a time until it suddenly halts execution, and you know that last line was where something broke php.[/quote]

Thank you - very much! I've been working so much in JS lately that I'm making these errors more and more... I'm surprised that Coda didn't pick it up, I'll take a look around if there's some plugin to add that functionality ;-)

Thanks mate!
