I am fairly new to json and I am having difficulty figuring out how to parse a particular json response. I did search a lot in this topic but I didn't find anything that suites or applies to my situation. So please bare with this question as I know it looks like a duplicate.
Let me first describe my scenario.
I have a Mysql table
Table Structure
mysql> describe faculty;
+-----------------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-----------------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| faculty_id | varchar(8) | NO | PRI | NULL | |
| faculty_name | text | NO | | NULL | |
| department_id | varchar(8) | YES | MUL | NULL | |
| department_name | text | NO | | NULL | |
| profile_pic | text | NO | | NULL | |
| designation | text | NO | | NULL | |
| doj | date | NO | | NULL | |
| email | text | NO | | NULL | |
| highest_qualification | varchar(10) | YES | | NULL | |
| industrial_exp_yr | smallint(6) | YES | | NULL | |
| industrial_exp_month | smallint(6) | YES | | NULL | |
| teaching_exp_yr | smallint(6) | YES | | NULL | |
| teaching_exp_month | smallint(6) | YES | | NULL | |
| area_of_interest | text | NO | | NULL | |
| national_pub | smallint(6) | YES | | NULL | |
| international_pub | smallint(6) | YES | | NULL | |
+-----------------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
16 rows in set (0.01 sec)
My JS:
$("#up_dept").change(function() {
var dept = $('#up_dept option:selected').text();
$.ajax({
url: "proc/get_flist.php",
type: "POST",
data: {
dept: dept
},
dataType: "json",
async: true,
cache: false,
success: function(response) {
// Tried naive forloop
// JSON.Parse
// Nothing worked so kept blank
}
});
});
PHP
$fac = new Faculty();
$dept = trim($_POST["dept"]);
$facul_list = $fac->faculty_list($dept);
echo json_encode($facul_list);
faculty_list function
function faculty_list($dept_name) {
try {
$db = new PDO(DB_CONN, DB_USER, DB_PASS);
$db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, false);
$query = "select * from faculty where department_name ='" . $dept_name . "';";
$stmt = $db->query($query);
if ($stmt->rowCount() > 0) {
$list = $stmt->fetchAll();
$db = null;
return $list;
} else {
return "NULL";
}
} catch (PDOException $ex) {
echo $ex->getMessage();
//utils::log_error($ex -> getMessage());
}
}
The Response
[{"faculty_id":"fac_001","0":"fac_001","faculty_name":"Arnab Roy","1":"Arnab Roy","department_id":"dep_002","2":"dep_002","department_name":"Electrical Engineering","3":"Electrical Engineering","profile_pic":"card-arnab.png","4":"card-arnab.png","designation":"Asst.

Now , I need to be able to console.log each field of the response say ,
response.faculty_id[0];
Please help me figure this out. I am not too sure if the response is a valid json or not.
