Jquery mobile json from php

Question

am fetching data from php as json

CODE:

I have added json_encode() to the php database output

JQUERY MOBILE:

$.getJSON('custom/php/showresults.php',
 function(data){
console.log(data)
}

The console.log(data) outputs as:

{'name':'Geowan', 'surname':'hiu'}.

How can i change it to output in the object way so that i can access the data using data.name

it's json, and you fetched it via .getJSON, have you simply tried data.name? — Marc B

do you want to just access the data straight?

$.getJSON('custom/php/showresults.php',
 function(data){
 console.log(data.name)
}

If you want it to assign it to a variable

var jsonData = $.getJSON('custom/php/showresults.php',
 function(data){
 return data;
}
if(jsonData){
console.log(jsonData.whatever)
}

or simply

$.getJSON('custom/php/showresults.php',function(data){
    return data.whatever;
}
