Jquery Flot problem when loading JSON

Sorry for the noob question. I've read through a couple questions and am unable to solve my problem. I cannot seem to load the data.

I have the following json code output from a php script.

{label: "load",data:[[1283294013*1000, 2.03],[1283293998*1000, 2.04],[1283293983*1000, 2.06],[1283293968*1000, 1.99],[1283293953*1000, 1.98],[1283293937*1000, 1.98],[1283293922*1000, 1.97],[1283293907*1000, 1.97],[1283293892*1000, 1.96],[1283293877*1000, 1.95],[1283293862*1000, 2.03]]}

With the following options

  var options = {
    legend: {
      show: true,
      margin: 10,
      backgroundOpacity: 0.5
    },
    lines: { show: true },
    xaxis: {
      mode: "time",
      timeformat: "%H:%M"
    },
    yaxis: { min: 0, },
    grid: { hoverable: true }
  };

The actual script looks like the following

  var plotArea = $("#plotArea");
  plotArea.css("height", "450px");
  plotArea.css("width", "800px");

  $.getJSON("getStats.php", function(data) {
      alert(data);
      $.plot( plotArea , data, options );
    });

The alert doesn't load at all. With FireBug, I can see the data was returned but nothing happens.

When using the following instead, data passes. The alert ru开发者_运维知识库ns and a graph shows up with nothing on the graph.

$.get("getStats.php", function(data) {
      alert(data);
      $.plot( plotArea , data, options );
    });

I can get this to run when just including the getStats.php in the code but that's not really what I'm shooting for.

JSON data mustn't contain math operations (multiplications in your case). Send already calculated values instead of expressions.

also I would expect the last 3 characters to look like ]]} not ]},
