Please refer to my other post
How do you echo a SQL SELECT statement from a PHP file called by AJAX?
That said, I just updated the code for it and put it on my GitHub you can find the source here
https://github.com/ArtisticPhoenix/MISC/blob/master/AjaxWrapper/AjaxWrapper.php

How you use it is like this (JavaScript)
$.post(url, {}, function(data){
if(data.error){
alert(data.error);
return;
}else if(data.debug){
alert(data.debug);
}
});
PHP
require_once 'AjaxWrapper.php'; //or auto load it etc...
//put into devlopment mode (so it will include debug data)
AjaxWrapper::setEnviroment(AjaxWrapper::ENV_DEVELOPMENT);
//wrap code in the Wrapper (wrap on wrap of it's the wrapper)
//note the &$response is required to pass by reference
//if there is an exception part way though this is needed to
//return any output before a potential return could be called.
AjaxWrapper::respond(function(&$response){
//this will be caught in output buffering and
//returned as data.debug
echo "hello World";
//...Your code goes here...
//any return data should be an element in $response
//call it anything but "error" or "debug" obviously
$response['success'] = true;
//this will be caught in the wrappers try/catch block and
//returned in data.error
throw new Exception();
//&$response- for example if you were required to return
//data to the caller (AjaxWrapper). If you did that here
//after the above exception is called, it would never be
//returned, if we pass by reference we don't need to worry
//about that as no return is required.
});
Of note this will also catch exceptions
and turn them into data.error
and it will also attempt to catch json_encode
errors as well.
And yes it is pretty sweet. I go sick of re-writing all this code one day and created this at work, now I share it with you.
