How to get PHP arrays(several -- looping) from AJAX-request via JSON?

I have a javascript that does an AJAX-request to a PHP-script which starts a loop. This loop returns data to the javascript. I want to be able to send arrays from the PHP-script back to the javascript but this doesn't seem to be working properly.

Mainly because it sometimes returns 2(or more) arrays at the same time. How would I get this to work? Tried searching for JSON-help but didn't find anything that explained my problem.

In my HTTP-Response method:

if(http.readyState == 3)
{

      console.log( http.responseText );
      var toBeEvaled = "(" + http.responseText + ")";
      console.log( toBeEvaled );
      var textout = eval( toBeEvaled );

      console.log( textout.name );

}

My PHP looks like this:

echo json_encode( array( 'type' => 1, 'name' => $stringVar, 'id' => $id ) );

Log 1 becomes:

{"type":1,"name":"String1","id":"1000004"}
{"type":1,"name":"String2","id":"60220"}

As you see, there are 2 arrays in that one. Another problem is that new arrays gets added onto http.responseText so somehow I need to get rid of those that I have already processed so that I can process only the new ones that I haven't processed yet.

Example, log 2 looks like this:

{"type":1,"name":"String1","id":"1000004"}
{"type":1,"name":"String2","id":"60220"}
{"type":1,"name":"String3","id":"5743636"}
{"type":1,"name":"String4","id":"8555983"}
{"type":1,"name":"String5","id":"7732"}
{"type":1,"name":"String6","id":"92257"}

Any ideas??

::::EDIT::::

Solved it! Did the following..

PHP:

echo json_encode( array( 'type' => 1, 'name' => $stringVar, 'id' => $id ) ) . '%#%';

Notice the '%#%' at the end.

Javascript:

var lastResponse = '';
function useHttpResponse()
{

    if(http.readyState == 3)
    {

         // Get the original response before we edit it
         var originalResponse = http.responseText;
         // Replace the found last response in our original response with nothing(basically editing out the last response)
         var newResponse = originalResponse.replace( lastResponse, '' );
         // Add our new response to the last response
         lastResponse += newResponse;

         var responses = newResponse.split( "%#%" );
         $.each(responses, func开发者_如何转开发tion(index, value){

              if( value != '' )
              {

                   var textout = eval( '(' + value + ')' );
                   console.log( 'Name: ' + textout.name + ', ID: ' + textout.id );

              }

        });

    }

}

Working excellent! :)

Well, you're echoing individual json chunks. That's why it's not working.. multiple json chunks in the same output isn't valid, so anything that interprets json is going to barf. Instead, add those arrays to a 'master' array and output that at the end of the script. For example,

$array = array();
while(loop) {
    array_push($array, array( 'type' => 1, 'name' => $stringVar, 'id' => $id ));
}

echo json_encode($array);

That should give you something like...

[
{"type":1,"name":"String1","id":"1000004"},
{"type":1,"name":"String2","id":"60220"},
{"type":1,"name":"String3","id":"5743636"},
{"type":1,"name":"String4","id":"8555983"},
{"type":1,"name":"String5","id":"7732"},
{"type":1,"name":"String6","id":"92257"}
]

which is valid

put your arrays in an other array so you have a 2 dimensional array... then make it json
