Codeigniter PHP JSON sends HTML response

I have a problem with Codeigniter and JSON. Here is my coding:

$.post("Admin/Admin/addschool", {test: 'test'}, function(data){             
  if (data.status == 'ok')
    alert(data);
  else 
    alert(data);
}, "json");

... and in my controller:

public function addschool() {
  $data = array("status" => "ok", "message"=> "something ");  
  echo json_encode($data);  
  exit(); 
}

But each time my json reply with the HTML of my whole view e.g my response

<!doctype html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://localhost:10090/css/layout.css" />
<title>Administration</title>
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="author" content="">
</head>

Probably there is a problem with the url. Let me give u an example of url routing problem

Lets say, the admin controller index function loads the admin home page, so in the load method, in the url part, if u just write "addschool", the ajax call will go to addschool function.

A chaining is done automatically, admin/addschool

But say for example, the function admin/load_view loads ur view page, now if u type addschool in the url, chaining will take place, and the url will become

admin/load_view/addschool

So you have to check the codeigniter function that is loading the view page, then use the appropriate chaining

Try use absolute URL

$.post("/Admin/Admin/addschool", {test: 'test'}, function(data){             
  if (data.status == 'ok')
    alert(data);
  else 
    alert(data);
}, "json");

And it is better return then exit inside codeigniter function

public function addschool() {
  $data = array("status" => "ok", "message"=> "something ");  
  echo json_encode($data);  
  return; 
}

First, it is good practice not to you used "echo", and you use the 'return'. Try to put down the controller directly to url and see if your return json
