Hey, I'm in desperate need. I have made a JSON object with PHP named userAuth and I am trying to pass it to a JS file with Ajax, here is my PHP code (auth.php):

$userAuth->access = 1;

json_encode($userAuth);

Here is my JS (auth.js):

const xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {

if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {

const userAuth = JSON.parse(this.responseText);

console.log(userAuth.access);

}

};

xmlhttp.open("GET", "auth.php", true);

xmlhttp.send();

Yet I am being thrown this error in console:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token A in JSON at position 0
    at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)
    at XMLHttpRequest.xmlhttp.onreadystatechange (auth.js:4)
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange @ auth.js:4
XMLHttpRequest.send (async)
(anonymous) @ auth.js:10

I have no idea why it's not working, I've followed a tutorial and I'm desperate! 

Thanks in advance & Regards,
