PHP (Content-type: text/plain)

Question

After adding PHP header("Content-type: text/plain"); a space is added. I use it for pretty JSON.

I need this:

{
"code":"200" }
}

But I get this:

{
"code":"200" }
}

Very, very hard for folks to help you if you don't quote more of your code. — T.J. Crowder

@ user: The edit is great, but as the important thing is where your <?php ... ?> tags are, we need to see the full page (as you clearly have a nice, self-contained example there). — T.J. Crowder

As far as I can tell, the only difference between those two blocks of code is a single space before the first {... is that what the source of concern is? Also - do you realize that what you've put out here is invalid JSON to begin with? — Troy Alford

You must add more detail from your code, If you really want people to help out — John Demetriou

Look at your PHP page closely, you probably just have whitespace in it (outside of your PHP tags) that you don't realize. (And you have an extra } in your JSON...)

First i have two spaces, when I checked it, I have removed one and now this space, because Content-type is setted, but I need it.

In general, ensure <?php is first thing in your php file and remove ?>.

@user1821941: The point is that every character outside of <?php ... ?> blocks is sent to the client. So you need to make sure there are no characters outside of those blocks. At all.

Thanks, really stupid bug. In fuctions I have missed to remove a space. Thanks!

If you're using PHP 5.4 or greater you can use JSON_PRETTY_PRINT flag.

However I also think that you might have a whitespace before the print, if not in your main page, maybe in functions.php.

I have updated php5 yesterday, but this JSON_PRETTY_PRINT flag isn't work and I use function.

You should check via phpinfo() your PHP version. That flag works with PHP 5.4 or greater.
