Não vou aceitar esta resposta, isso não seria justo. Eu só queria criar um esboço e possíveis dicas sobre os itens que considero importantes:
A principal definição de wp-die ()
File: wp-includes/functions.php
2607: /**
2608: * Kill WordPress execution and display HTML message with error message.
2609: *
2610: * This function complements the `die()` PHP function. The difference is that
2611: * HTML will be displayed to the user. It is recommended to use this function
2612: * only when the execution should not continue any further. It is not recommended
2613: * to call this function very often, and try to handle as many errors as possible
2614: * silently or more gracefully.
2615: *
2616: * As a shorthand, the desired HTTP response code may be passed as an integer to
2617: * the `$title` parameter (the default title would apply) or the `$args` parameter.
2618: *
2619: * @since 2.0.4
2620: * @since 4.1.0 The `$title` and `$args` parameters were changed to optionally accept
2621: * an integer to be used as the response code.
2622: *
2623: * @param string|WP_Error $message Optional. Error message. If this is a WP_Error object,
2624: * and not an Ajax or XML-RPC request, the error's messages are used.
2625: * Default empty.
2626: * @param string|int $title Optional. Error title. If `$message` is a `WP_Error` object,
2627: * error data with the key 'title' may be used to specify the title.
2628: * If `$title` is an integer, then it is treated as the response
2629: * code. Default empty.
2630: * @param string|array|int $args {
2631: * Optional. Arguments to control behavior. If `$args` is an integer, then it is treated
2632: * as the response code. Default empty array.
2633: *
2634: * @type int $response The HTTP response code. Default 200 for Ajax requests, 500 otherwise.
2635: * @type bool $back_link Whether to include a link to go back. Default false.
2636: * @type string $text_direction The text direction. This is only useful internally, when WordPress
2637: * is still loading and the site's locale is not set up yet. Accepts 'rtl'.
2638: * Default is the value of is_rtl().
2639: * }

Normalmente, o que recebemos da chamada ajax é algum tipo de resposta. A resposta pode ser codificada em json ou não pode ser codificada em json.
Caso necessitemos de json
interrupção wp_send_json
ou dois satélites são uma ótima idéia.
No entanto, podemos voltar x-www-form-urlencoded
ou multipart/form-data
ou text/xml
ou qualquer outro tipo de codificação. Nesse caso, não usamos wp_send_json
.
Podemos retornar o html inteiro e, nesse caso, faz sentido usar o wp_die()
primeiro e o segundo parâmetro, caso contrário, esses parâmetros devem estar vazios.
wp_die( '', '', array(
'response' => null,
) );
Mas qual é o benefício de chamar wp_die()
sem parâmetros?
Por fim, se você verificar o excelente núcleo do WP, poderá encontrar
File: wp-includes/class-wp-ajax-response.php
139: /**
140: * Display XML formatted responses.
141: *
142: * Sets the content type header to text/xml.
143: *
144: * @since 2.1.0
145: */
146: public function send() {
147: header( 'Content-Type: text/xml; charset=' . get_option( 'blog_charset' ) );
148: echo "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='" . get_option( 'blog_charset' ) . "' standalone='yes'?><wp_ajax>";
149: foreach ( (array) $this->responses as $response )
150: echo $response;
151: echo '</wp_ajax>';
152: if ( wp_doing_ajax() )
153: wp_die();
154: else
155: die();
Ambos os formatos são usados die()
e wp_die()
. Você pode explicar o porquê?
Finalmente, aqui está o que admin-ajax.php
retornadie( '0' );
Por que não wp_die(...)
?
