Answer 1

The JSON string you have is an array with 1 object inside of it, so to access the object you have to access the array first. With a json.php that looks like this:

[
    {
        "iId": "1",
        "heading": "Management Services",
        "body": "
Program Overview
January 29, 2009
"
    }
]

I just tried this

$.getJSON("json.php", function(json) {
    alert(json[0].body); // 
Program Overview
January 29, 2009
    alert(json[0].heading); // "Management Services"
    alert(json[0].iId); // "1"
});

I also tried this:

$.get("json.php", function(data){
    json = eval(data);
    alert(json[0].body); // 
Program Overview
January 29, 2009
    alert(json[0].heading); // "Management Services"
    alert(json[0].iId); // "1" 
});

And they both worked fine for me.
