I have few images on my server whose names are stored in the phpmysql table. The table contains two fields: id and images. I have prepared a php to fetch the images in json encoded formatted as mentioned:

jsonFetch.php

<?php
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbname = "userauth";
$dbuser = "root";
//$DB_Pass = "root";
$dbtable = "images";

@mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser);
$db = mysql_select_db($dbname);


$sql = "SELECT * FROM $dbtable";
$query = mysql_query($sql);

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query))
    {
         $rows[] = array(
        //"id" => $row[0],
        "image" => $row[1]
        //"description" => $row['description']);
        );
    }

$json = json_encode($rows);
$callback = $_GET['images'];
echo $callback.$json ;   
//print_r($json);  

?>

Now, when i hit the url, i am getting following response:

[{“image”:”./95462″},{“image”:”./8838upload_image.jpg”}{“image”:”./43185upload_image.jpg”},{“image”:”/17426upload_image.jpg”}]

I am getting json array as above.

The next step is to display the above array in multithreaded manner in UITableView.
I am getting the images from url when i hardcode them but when it comes to json parse, i am a noob. I have tried every possible manner in which json can be parsed so for you reference, i am posting the .m file. :

I believe that something is needed to be done in viewDidAppear method but what is it i don’t understand.

Kindly, help me out. I have tried every possible json method . May be i am making some errors in that but i am all the way frustrated. Please help me please.
