Question

In my php file I have

$data = array();  
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, true))   
{$data[] = $row;};  
echo json_encode($data);

It produces the JSON array:

[
    {
        "record_id": "4",
        "eq_type_id": "999",
        "scidiv_id_tag": "AKINS04",
        "date_last_updated": "2011-07-11 14:41:58",
        "description": "Optics Table D",
        "eq_type_desc": "Other Equipment Type"
    }
]

In my JQUERY script:

$.ajax(
{
    type: "GET",
    //dataType: "json",
    url: "../scidiv/php/editData.php",
    data: "recid=" + scidivtag,
    success: function(data)
    {
       $('#output1').html(data);
       $('#output').html("<b>id: </b>"+ data[0].record_id + "<b> name: </b>" +data[1].eq_type_id); 
     }

});

$('#output1').html(data); displays the above array on my web page....

But both

$('#output').html("Record Id: "+ data.record_id+"Eq Type ID: "+ data.eq_type_id);  

an

$('#output').html("Record Id: "+ data[0].record_id+"Eq Type ID: "+ data[1].eq_type_id);

Gives me

id: undefined name: undefined

Can someone tell me what I’m missing??

Thanks

Thanks for all the assistance and suggestions…

I solved the problem by re-writing my php script from scratch…
The main thing I did was get the results of the query as a simple array since I’m getting only one row of data the query:

$jqdata = mysql_fetch_row($result,);   
echo json_encode($jqdata);

So my json looks like:

["7","1","999","AKINS01","2011-07-11 14:39:22","Optics Table A","Other Equipment Type"] 

Thanks again!!
