Parse Nested JSON With JQuery - php

Question

I'm new to JSON and really struggling with this. I've read countless other posts and web pages but can't seem to figure it out.
I'm using PHP to output JSON (from data from the database) with this code:
header('Content-type: application/json');
echo json_encode($data);
Here is the JSON:
{
"x0": {
"id": "1",
"name": "Rob",
"online": "1",
"gender": "m",
"age": "29",
"height": "5'8''",
"build": "Average",
"ethnicity": "White",
"description": "Art geek person",
"looking_for": "Anything",
"image": "4fs5d43f5s4d3f544sdf.jpg",
"last_active": "29-06-11-1810",
"town": "Manchester",
"country": "UK",
"distance": 0.050973560712308
},
"x1": {
"id": "2",
"name": "Dave",
"online": "1",
"gender": "m",
"age": "29",
"height": "5'8''",
"build": "Average",
"ethnicity": "White",
"description": "Art geek person",
"looking_for": "Anything",
"image": "4fs5d43f5s4d3f544sdf.jpg",
"last_active": "29-06-11-1810",
"town": "Manchester",
"country": "UK",
"distance": 0.050973560712308
}
}
I think the problem I'm having is that the JSON is nested(might be wrong there)?.
This is the JQuery:
function fetchProfiles() {
var url='http://url.com/here';
var i = 0;
var handle = 'x'.i;
$.getJSON(url,function(json){
$.each(json.results,function(i,profile){
$("#profiles").append('<p><img src="'+profile.handle.image+'" widt="48" height="48" />'+profile.handle.name+'</p>');
i++;
});
});
}
Any ideas or suggestions appreciated!
Thanks!

i think that the problem is that you call $.each on json.results (if the json is exactly what you showed us).
you sholud do:
$.each(json,function(i,profile){
$("#profiles").append('<p><img src="'+profile.image+'" widt="48" height="48" />'+profile.name+'</p>');
});
look at the fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/ENcVd/1/ (it alerst the image property of you json object)
