Question

I have a an array:

$result = array('statusAlert' => 'Your input was validated'
                 'input' => $input); // $input is a string

json_encode($result);

in jQuery, I want to alert ‘statusAlert’ and ‘input’ separately? How do I access them?

I tried alert(result.statusAlert), alert(result[0]), alert(result.statusAlert[0]) but none of them has worked.

Edit

I am trying to do that within the “success” callback function of ajax() in jQuery

When I alert(result), I get:

{"statusAlert":"Your input was validated","input":"this is the string input"}

Answer 1

Change your .ajax() request to include dataType:'json'.
