I am trying to learn how to retrieve data from a json obj that I return from PHP but I can not figure out how to get the values. My data looks something like this:

[{"user_name":"herp"},{"email":"herp.derp@gmail.com"},{"yy":"yyyy"},{"mm":"mm"},{"dd":"dd"}]

My client-side script looks something like this:

        $.ajax({
        type : 'POST',
        url : 'serverside/get_installningar.php',
        dataType : 'json',
        success : function(data) {

        }
    });

I would like to type something like data.user_name to retrieve the user_name and so on. But is there a method for doing this? I have looked in the forum but can’t find the right thing.

    What you have is an array of objects and so you going to need to know where it is to get user_name,

    data[0].user_name

    see below for structural details,

    [
 {"user_name":"herp"},   // <-- data[0]
 {"email":"herp.derp@gmail.com"}, // <-- data[1]
 {"yy":"yyyy"},  // <-- data[2]
 {"mm":"mm"},    // <-- data[3]
 {"dd":"dd"}     // <-- data[4]
]

    As AndrewR pointed out,

    This will work, but it would be better to fix the JSON format coming from PHP. {"user_name":"herp","email":"herp.derp@gmail.com","yy":"yyyy","mm":"mm","dd":"d‌​d"} and then his original plan will work.
