I think your show_cart_update.php probably is just return the array of results. What you need to do is echo json_encode($your_result_array) so that the data returned is in json format.

You quote a php error yet we see no php code. Why is that?

Post your show_cart_update.php code. So It will also help the other to find an right answer for you. If your question is related to JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX please post in that forum and you will get answer as soon..

Also, I think you should omit onClick="update_cart_detail()" since you trigger function and whole AJAX process by clicking id="update_cart" which is that button.
