I'm trying to communicate AJAX, JSON to PHP and then PHP returns some data and I'm trying to parse it with Javascrpt.

From the php, server I return,

    echo json_encode($data); 



    // it outputs [123,something,and more something]

and then in client-side,

success : function(data){



    //I want the data as following



    // data[0] = 123

    // data[1] = something

    // data[3] = and more something

}

But, it gives as;

        data[0] = [ 

        data[1] =  

        data[2] = 1

It is reading each character but I want strings from the array, not individual characters. What is happening here? Thanks in advance, I am new to Javascript and JSON, AJAX.
