Access JSON array values? - php

Question

eSo I've got some parsed php data whiched I've fetched from my database and then parsed to JSON with json_encode(). Then I've used JSONparse() to make objects of my array. My code looks like this:
$.get("fetchDatabase.php", function(data){
var parsedData = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
}
I'm left with the array parsedData which looks like this:
[
{"person0":{"name":["Erik Steen"],"age":["1"]}},
{"person1":{"name":["Frida Larsson"],"age":["1"]}},
{"person2":{"name":["Abdi Sabrie"],"age":["2"]}},
{"person3":{"name":["Achraf Malak"],"age":["3"]}},
{"person4":{"name":["Adam Anclair"],"age":["1"]}}
]
I've placed those arrays in an array named
var peopleArray= { people: [ parsedData ] };
So far so good. Now what I want is being able to access certain persons attribute. Like names or age. How do I target those attributes? I've tried to print those attributes with no luck. I tried:
alert (peopleArray.people[0].person1.name);
Whiched returns:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined
How can I access those attributes?

Apart from the typo ("namn") the problem is you're putting an array inside an array:
var peopleArray = { people: [ parsedData ] };
Since parsedData is an array then what you end up with is a structure like this:
// peopleArray
{ people : [ [ { "person0" : ... }, ... ] ] }
// oops -----^
See the problem? Since parsedData is a already an array the correct code would be:
var peopleArray = { people: parsedData };
