I'm trying to loop the returning Array from PHP. But jQuery .length is giving me:

'undefined'

PHP:

$items = array();

$items[country] = North Korea,

$items[fruits] = array(

                      apple=>1.0,

                      banana=>1.2,

                      cranberry=>2.0,

                    );

echo json_encode( $fruits );

jQuery:

$.ajax({

    url: items.php,

    async: false,

    type: POST,

    dataType: JSON,

    data: { command : getItems }

}).success(function( response ) {

    alert( response.fruits.apple );

    alert( response.length );

});

• Here the First Alert() is ok, by returning: 1.0.


• Then the Second Alert() to detect length response.length is returning:
  
  
  
  • undefined
  
  

Then how can i loop this Array (or) how to loop the Fruits (defined by PHP like $items[fruits]) from jQuery end please?
