How to get response as json format(application/json) in yii?

Answer 1

one more simple way by using

echo CJSON::encode($result);

example code:

public function actionSearch(){
    if (Yii::app()->request->isAjaxRequest && isset($_POST['term'])) {
            $models = Model::model()->searchNames($_POST['term']);
            $result = array();
            foreach($models as $m){
                $result[] = array(
                        'name' => $m->name,
                        'id' => $m->id,
                );


            }
            echo CJSON::encode($result);
        }
}

cheers :)
