Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

Doing some simple AJAX test stuff. It's just getting an error back and I think it's due to this access control issue. I remember this from aaaaaaages ago but I can't remember how to implement it.

For now, I just have a one-line PHP file which just echo's 'Test' back. Where would I put the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * ' in my PHP file?

Add this to the top of your PHP script:

header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");

And make sure you use https for your site URL.

Thanks, that's that part sorted.

I'm getting an error because it's not https, so I need to sort that. I don't like the idea of securing my entire domain because I do lots of other stuff there and I don't wanna mess other stuff up. I'll have to read about it, pretty sure I have the option for free anyway though.

It shouldn't affect much, you can get free SSL's aswell but if you have the option for free - go for it!
