jquery $.ajax success not working

Question

for some reason my $.ajax() is posting but not providing a success message which is rather strange because i am using the same code from another application just with different values

$("#submit").click(function(e)
    e.preventDefault();
    var email = $("#email_address").val();
    var url = "<?=base_url()?>" + "account/validate_registration";
    $.ajax({
        type:"POST",
        url:url,
        data:{"email_address":email},
        success: function(res,status){
            alert(res);
        }
    });
});

Sometimes chrome developer console displays the response of the php file which is

print_r($_POST);

I cant understand how it works in one application and not in this one

Does the request show that it returned successfully in the developer tools network tab? — Taplar, Mar 13 '18 at 15:56
I would advise you to include `error: function(response){alert(response);}` as well to make sure that the ajax returns success, and not error. Hope this helps! — N. Ivanov, Mar 13 '18 at 15:57
Yet what is the actual error that you getting from the ajax call? — k0pernikus, Mar 13 '18 at 15:57
I'm ok with Ivanov you should add the error part with `console.log(response);` to have better idea of what's not working. And where is your problem? You don't go to the success part of your ajax call? — Mickaël Leger, Mar 13 '18 at 15:58

$.ajax({
        type:"POST",
        url:url,
        dataType: "json", 
        data:{"email_address":email},
        success: function(res,status){
            alert(res);
        }
    });



this url should return json data (var url = "<?=base_url()?>" + "account/validate_registration";)
