Syntaxerror: JSON.parse: Unexpected Character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

Question

<?php

session_start();
header('Content-type: application/json');

$email = "XXXX"; 
$password = "XXX"; 
$serviceId = 4728;

$url = 'https://login.globo.com/api/authentication';

$jsonAuth = array(
'captcha' => '',
'payload' => array(
 'email' => $email,
 'password' => $password,
 'serviceId' => $serviceId
    )
);

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($jsonAuth));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$obj=json_decode($result);
echo "id: " . $obj->{'glbId'};

?>

My code is this, when running in the browser appears the error: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

Anyone can help?

Answer 1

You just take the header('Content-type: application/json'); the browser is assuming that its content is JSON and tries to format.

Answer 2

you don’t need keys to access the object. Thus:

$obj->glbId;
