Question

So I have a php script that does this:

$rows = array();        
while($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($sth2)) {
 $rows[] = array($r['alternative'] => $r['amount']);
}
print json_encode($rows);

I get this output:

[{"\u00e5l":"3"},{"vin":"3"},{"whiskey":"1"},{"gin":"1"},{"rom":"1"},{"vodka":"1"}]

Problem one: \u00e5 is supposed to be ø. Everything else works with utf8 except this very function, any idea how to fix this?

Second problem is that I cannot seem to get a nice way of reading the data in javascript. I am currently using this code (I know’s not that good, but it should work for now):

$.each(obj, function(key, val) 
{
counter = counter +1 ;
switch (counter)
    {
        case 0:
            numberOne = key;
            valueOne = val;
            break;
        case 1:
            numberTwo = key;
            valueTwo = val;
            break;
        case 2:
            numberThree = key;
            valueThree = val;
            break;
        case 3:
            numberFour = key;
            valueFour = val;
            break;
        case 4:
            numberFive = key;
            valueFive = val;
            break;
        case 5:
            numberSix = key;
            valuesix = val;
            break;
    }
});

Answer 1

for your second problem you can use

for(a in obj)
{
  alert(a +' = '+obj[a]);
}

You havn’t specified what you want to achive by reading object properties So I left it to you 🙂 hope it helps.

for(a in obj)
    {
      alert(a +' = '+obj[a]);
      for(b in obj[a])
      {
        alert(b+' = '+obj[a][b]); // or   alert(b+'  '+obj[a].b); would work  
      }
    }
