Question

I send an array from PHP with json_encode, and I trying to get with AJAX and jQuery.
Every thing is ok.

JSON structure is :

names{"p1":"John","p5":"Smith"}

jQuery code is :

$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "return.php",
dataType: "json",
data: "id=56",
success: function(data) {
        $(data.names).each(function(key, txt) {
            alert(txt);
        });
    }
}

this code don’t return any thing! I think browser don’t enter in each

what should I do ?

Answer 1

instead this:

$(data.names).each(function(key, txt) {
    alert(txt);
});

use this:

$.each(data.names, function(key, txt) {
    alert(txt);
});

and your json seems to be incorrect as you mentioned: names{"p1":"John","p5":"Smith"}

this should be like this:

{
    "names": {
        "p1": "John",
        "p5": "Smith"
    }
}
