Question

How can I replace this json code :

var contacts = [
    { firstName: 'Mohammed', lastName: 'Shurrab', phone: '0599000000' },
    { firstName: 'Osama', lastName: 'Abu Kmail', phone: '0599111111' },
    { firstName: 'Alaa', lastName: 'Saqer', phone: '0599666666' }
];

with a result from jquery ajax call ( getJson ) to the following url which returns json :

amerenaya.com/CI/index.php/hello/example5

and store the result in the variable contacts?

to use in a javascript code?

Answer 1

var contacts;

$.getJSON('http://amerenaya.com/CI/index.php/hello/example5').success(function(data) {
    contacts = eval(data);
});
