How to read Json_encoded php array from jquery? -

i have php array 1 :

array (     [0] => banana, peach, cherry     [1] => strawberry, apple, lime ) 

i pass jquery using json_encode($myarray)

in jquery receive array : ["banana, peach, cherry","strawberry, apple, lime"]

now wanna extract each value : "banana, peach, cherry" & "strawberry, apple, lime"

when try use :

$.each(data, function(key, value){     alert(value); }); 

it alerts me each chars : [ " b n n................ etc instead each value.

do know why ?

edit :

this how receive data php :

$.post('ajax/fruits.php', function(data) {     var obj = $.parsejson(data);     var chunks = obj['chunks'] // gives me : ["banana, peach, cherry","strawberry, apple, lime"]     if (obj['error']==0) {         mix_fruits(chunks); // function should extract each value     } }); 

you don't show how passing , receiving data, somewhere in process making mistake.

it evident description data string, not array should have been based on php variable. , since string begins characters make json representation of data, means json being wrapped string instead of parsed javascript literal.

assuming passing/receiving not done through ajax request (in case jquery parse data automatically) 'm guessing doing this:

var data = '<?php echo json_encode($data); ?>'; 

while should instead doing this:

var data = <?php echo json_encode($data); ?>; // no quotes!
