Question

How come i can’t return id using data[0].id?

    $(document).ready(function(){   
$.ajax({
  type: 'POST',     
  dataType: "json",
  url: '<?php echo matry::base_to('tests/map_it');?>',
  success: function (data) 
  {
     alert(data[0])
    $('#alerts').html(data);
    data[0].id

  }

  });
});

Here’s the alert that’s returning.

    {"id":19385,"first":"RLY","last":"MAZI",
    "trainer_address1":"19 NE 13H CRT",
    "trainer_address2":null,"CITY":"MII","STATE":"AL",
    "trainer_zip":"33333","trainer_phone":"[phone]","trainer_fax":null,
    "trainer_cell":"(213)213-  2133","website_trainer_id":115,"trainer_email":"[e-mail]",
"trainer_group":"","inactive":null}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT
Here is the php that returns that json:

$mapit = sql::results("Select * from event.ACS.trainer where inactive is null or inactive=0");
foreach ($mapit as $row)
{
    $return[] = json_encode($row, JSON_FORCE_OBJECT);
}
echo json_encode($return);

I have to loop through and encode each row because, otherwise, the ajax function doesn’t think there is json that is returned (and my data var is empty)

data[0] looks like JSON, so you’ll have to parse it before you can use it as an object. e.g. $.parseJSON(data[0]).id
