Check out http://www.json.org/ for JSON structures. In javascript an Array object is a special implementation of the Object object (like all objects other than Object) - an Array object can only have numerical indices, an Object object can have textual indices too. If you json_encode a php array with textual indices it translates to {...} - a javascript Object object. If you json_encode a php array with numerical indices it translates to [...] - a javascript Array object. It seems to me that what you're using is mysql_fetch_array (http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-array.php) with either no result_type parameter set, or result_type set to MYSQL_BOTH. If you want a javascript Array object, use either mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM) or mysql_fetch_row($result). If you want a javascript Object object, use either mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC) or mysql_fecth_assoc($result).
