I Have looked all over SO and Google but have have noting that has helped and I'm unsure how to continue. I have an array which I am returning from a php page using echo json_encode() that looks like this:

[ , , , , ,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31]

but I keep getting Unexpected token o at Object.parse (native) when I try to use JSON.parse() and Unexpected token o at Function.parse (native) when I use the JQuery alternitive.

but when I just attach it to the $scope I can print it out using on the page, so What am I doing wrong and how can I correct this?

this is my controller

function myController($scope, memberFactory) {



    response = memberFactory.getMonth(2013-08-01 06:30:00);

    //$scope.response = response;

    var monthDays = $.parseJSON(response);



    var dates = [];

    for (var i = 0; i < monthDays.length; i++) {

        if (i % 7 == 0) dates.push([]);

        dates[dates.length - 1].push(monthDays[i]);

    }

    $scope.dates = dates;

    //

}

this is my Service Method:

obj.getMonth = function (date) {

    var month = $q.defer();

    $http.get('getMonth.php?date=' + date)

        .success(function (data, status, headers, config) {

        month.resolve(data);



    });



    return month.promise;

}

and this is my php:

<?php $daysOfMonth=[  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31];

echo json_encode($daysOfMonth); ?>

Things I have Tried

If I return the typeof I get Object, so I have then tried var monthDays = Array.prototype.slice.call(response) and var monthDays = $.map(response, function (value, key) { return value; });as suggested in some of the answers here, I have also tried JSON.stringify() but I just get {} as the result

I am really frustrated with this an really need someone to point me in the correct direction

Update

I believe this may be an issue with using $q.defer() as I updated my getMonth Method as follows:

obj.getMonth = function (date) {

    var month = $q.defer();

    $http.get('getMonth.php?date=' + date)

        .success(function (data, status, headers, config) {

        month.resolve(data);

        console.log(data  + data[0]);

        console.log(resolved  + month.promise[0]);



    });



    return month.promise;

}   

now I get 1 for console.log(data + data[0]); as expected but I get for console.log(month); I get [object Object] forconsole.log(month.promise) I get [object Object]and for console.log(month.promise[0]); I get undefined
