I am generating JSON via an Ajax loop which I am successfully iterating and getting results. I need only the first index value of JSON which is name and I am doing this as in jQuery:

PHP

 $jsonRows[] = array(
            "name" => $result['name'],
            "datetime" => $result['datetime'],
            "place" => $result['place'],

        );
print_r(json_encode($jsonRows));

suppose the values are ing:

name: raj,
datetime: 2013-03-01 16:50:21,
place: India

name: jatin,
datetime: 2013-03-01 20:50:21,
place: US

name: raman,
datetime: 2013-03-03 01:50:21,
place: Japan

I need only name: raj but I am not getting this value:

JavaScript

$.each(response, function(i, item) {
       alert(item(0).name);
    });

error: object is not a function

• is response an array? can you check the result for console.log(result) in the console. Add it before the $.each loop – Arun P Johny Commented Mar 4, 2013 at 14:01
