JSON/JQUERY/JS - Access properties from object

Question

From my PHP processing file I receive back an object ( [object Object] ) and I'd like to access it's content's with calls like data[0].errors etc, but all tries seem to fail for me.

How may I achieve that?

Here's what the object looks like:

" Array
(
    [success] => 
    [errors] => Array
        (
            [companyname] => Company name is required and must have 50 characters at most.
            [logo1] => Logo is required.
            [investment] => First investment amount is required.
            [investment1] => Investment value must be an integer.
            [payment] => Basic wage is required.
            [payment1] => Payment value must be an integer.
            [companytype] => Company type is required.
            [companytype2] => Something is wrong with your company type.
        )

)
"

I have to display those errors in console div to show the user what has he done wrong.

EDIT:

Here's exactly what I get when I console.log(data) :

Also here's my AJAX request to make everything clear.

        $.ajax({
                type        : 'POST',
                url         : 'processcreatecompany.php',
                data        : formData,
                dataType    : 'json',
               contentType: false,
               processData: false,
                encode      : true
            }).done(function(data) {

                console.log(data);
            }).fail(function(data) {

                console.log(data);

        })

Answer 1

as expected the problem is in the php part ... you are doing a print_r of the objects which gives that output that it's not json

you should use json_encode to return the $data object/array, so instead of

print_r($data['success']);
print_r($data['errors']);

you should have (also you should add the content type header )

header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($data);

Later edit: without the header you usually get the response as text/plain in data.responseText , as in your screenshot, and and you will have to do the JSON parsing "by hand". Adding the header makes jQuery do the parsing automatically and you'll have the response as an object in data.response<something I dont recall now>
