Question

i am learning on how to parse json using jquery

PHP

foreach($cars as $car)
{       
    $output['carID'][] = $car->carID;
    $output['carName'][] = $car->carName;
}
echo jsonEncode($output);

JSON

{"carID":["1","2"],"carName":["BMW","Mercedez Benz"]}

My javascript

$.getJSON('/cars.php', { carID: carID }, function(data) {
    $.each(data, function(i,item) {
        for(j=0; j < item[item.carName]; j++) {
            console.log(item[item.carName][j]);
        }
    });
});

I think my code is entirely wrong because its not working.

how can i get the value inside of ["1","2"] ?

Thanks for the help.

It’s not the “value of 1” that you’re looking for. It’s the value at index 0, which happens to be “1”.

["1","2"] is the value of carID, and it is an array.

Try accessing it this way:

alert(item.carID[0]); // will alert "1"
alert(item.carID[1]); // will alert "2"
