Jquery validation using ajax

I'm using this plugin https://github.com/posabsolute/jQuery-Validation-Engine for form validation. Sometimes I need some validation for email or username to check if it exists or not.
Base on the tutorial in http://www.position-absolute.com/articles/using-form-ajax-validation-with-the-jquery-validation-engine-plugin/

include this script in the language


"ajaxEmailPhp": {
"url": settings.base_url + "home/check_email",
// you may want to pass extra data on the ajax call
//"extraData": "name=eric",
// if you provide an "alertTextOk", it will show as a green prompt when the field validates
"alertTextOk": "* silahkan lanjut",
"alertText": "* Email sudah terpakai",
"alertTextLoad": "* Validasi, Silahkan menunggu"
},

And this in your custom js


$("#register_form").validationEngine({
ajaxFormValidation: true,
onAjaxFormComplete: ajaxValidationCallback,
onValidationComplete: ajaxValidationCallback,
onBeforeAjaxFormValidation: beforeCall
});

function beforeCall(form, options){
if (console) 
console.log("Right before the AJAX form validation call");
return true;
}

// Called once the server replies to the ajax form validation request
function ajaxValidationCallback(status, form, json, options){
//if (console) 
console.log(status);

if (status === true) {
alert("the form is valid!");
// uncomment these lines to submit the form to form.action
// form.validationEngine('detach');
// form.submit();
// or you may use AJAX again to submit the data
}
}

in view


in php

public function check_email()
{
$get = $this->input->get();
if (!empty($get))
{
$this->load->library('core/student_library');
$check = $this->student_library->get(array('email' => $get['fieldValue']));
$check = (empty($check)) ? true : false;
}
echo json_encode(array($get['fieldId'],$check));
}

Troubleshoot

Ajax error: 200 parsererror

Fix the output use echo json_encode($array);

How come it doesn't callback and keep on validating

check the output format or check my example
