I had a similar problem a while ago, I do not know why but I managed to solve using echo json_encode ( $ response , JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE ) ; instead ofprint and escaping special characters in encode instead of mysqli , hope it helps

after the last executable statement, which will explicitly close the PHP file.

When you exit explicitly PHP file, the code will not be appended to the JSON.
