so i use .getJSON to get all the key/value pairs this way:

    $.getJSON("http://domain.com/results.php",function(result){
      $.each(result, function(key, value){
            ....
      });
    });

but how do i get the 1st key/value only?

the question would be, what makes the first key the first one? (well, in an array that would be obvious ...)

so how do i get the 1st key/value of the array? result[0], key[0], value[0] dont work..

then neither result, key nor value are an array.

judging from your description, your JSON returns an object (key-value pairs) and the properties (keys) of an object do not have an inherent order, hence there is no first or last key. The only thing you can get is the first key in an iteration (or loop) but you have no control of what key is chosen by the system/JS to be the first one.

i tried a different approach:

in the .each loop, i push the value to an array:

var array=new Array();

.each loop:
array.push(value);

after the loop,

alert(array[0]);

gives undefined?

then there’s probably something going wrong in the loop.

btw. if you want only one result, why do you use a full JSON object? wouldn’t it be easier to let the server send only one value?

i also need everything.
now for the 1st value, i would have to make a separate separate php request page?

if you need everything, then why bothering what the first value is?
