How would I go about doing this?

Question

First I have my data encoded in the json_encode function.

Looks like this for example:

{\"test\":\"test value\"}

What I want to do is m

Answer 1

Objects are associative arrays. They store key/values pairs. So All you have to do is:

var test = function(){}
test["hello"] = "world";

This will set hello as a variable and world as its value. you can test this by doing

alert(test.hello);

Replace hello and world with the json key and value

Hope this help more with this example: I am using Jquery AJAX to go to index.php resource and return a json object.

index.php

 'world');
echo json_encode($variables);
?>

example.html

var test = function(){}
$.ajax({
   url: index.php,
   success: function(json) {
    for(var key in json ){
     var testVarName = key;
     var testVarValue = json[key];
     test[testVarName ] = testVarValue;
    }
}
});

So now test object has variable hello and it value is world
