Question

I am using cakePHP for my project and i have the following Jquery script

$.ajax({
                url: '<?php echo $this->Html->url(array("action" => "retrieveVideoFeed"));?>',
                dataType: "json",
                data: {
                    vid: $v_id
                },
                success: function( data) {
                                            response([data]);
                }
            });

Now i want to use the response data from the controller and when i do :

data.example, it should give the value of the json type that is responded by the controller. However, firebug is complaining that data is not defined. If that is the case, how can i use the response data in the ajax? However the firebug is showing the response data. I just need to know how can i use access the responded data from jquery.

thsi is the json you are getting as you have posted in the comments

{
    "apiVersion": "2.1",
    "data": {
        "id": "Ahg6qcgoay4",
        "uploaded": "2008-03-10T17:30:17.000Z",
        "updated": "2011-10-23T04:17:10.000Z",
        "uploader": "dothetest",
        "category": "Howto",
        "title": "Test Your Awareness: Do The Test",
        "description": "How many passes does the team in white make? Test your awareness and Do the Test!"
    }
}

access it in the success handler like

success:function(data){
alert(data.data.id);
//or
console.log(data.data.id);
}
