Question

I seem to have trouble with getting data from a php array, I’ve looked at various examples of how to do this but I must be missing something because I can not get my code to work.

PHP method

function getLatestActivity(){
   $messages = array( 
      array('id'=>'01', 'value'=>'blah'),
      array('id'=>'02', 'value'=>'Oil'),
      array('id'=>'03', 'value'=>'Spark') 
   );

   echo json_encode($messages); 
   return;  
}

AJAX get functiom

function getLatestActivities(){
   $.ajax({
      type: "GET", url: "include/process.php", 
      data:{
         getLatestActivity: "true",
         toUser: "4",
         ignoreMessages:"1",
         dataType: "json"
      },
      success: function(data){
         $.each(data, function (i, elem) {
            alert(data.id);
         });              
      }
   });   
}

The alert prints out the message “undefined”, any help would be appreciated thank you.

Try with – it’s your single object now:

alert(elem.id);
