On the one side I have a local website shown in Chrome (let's call it A). On the other side I have a PHP site, that returns some JSON data (let's call it B).

Now I would like to load the JSON data from B, and display them on A. To so I tried to use a XMLHttpRequest, but it got me the following error:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http:.... No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'null' is therefore not allowed access.

I also tried adding " header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');" to my PHP site (B), but that did not change anything.

is your header() declaration the very first thing output back to the browser? Example of your code would be helpful. – Vinny M Feb 05 '16 at 21:44
No, it was not the first thing. After fixing that, it worked :-) – Boris Feb 05 '16 at 21:54
