How do I encode JSON in PHP via jQuery Ajax post data?

I have an HTML form and send data to php file when hitting submit button.

$.ajax({
    url: "text.php",
    type: "POST",
    data: {
        amount: amount,
        firstName: firstName,
        lastName: lastName,
        email: email
    },
    dataType: "JSON",
    success: function (data) {
        console.log("ok");
        $("#result").text(data);
    }
});

In PHP:

<?php
    $amount      = $_POST["amount"];
    $firstName   = $_POST["firstName"];
    $lastName    = $_POST["lastName"];
    $email       = $_POST["email"];
    if(isset($amount)){
        $data = array(
            "amount"     => $amount,
            "firstName"  => $firstName,
            "lastName"   => $lastName,
            "email"      => $email
        );
        echo json_encode($data);
    }
?>

The result is [object object]. I want a type like:

{"Amount":"12.34", "FirstName":"Any", "LastName":"Tester", "Email":"[email protected]"}

What have I done wrong?

Code example with JSON.stringify:

<html>
    <head>
       <title>jQuery Test</title>
       <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
       <script type="text/javascript">
           $(document).ready(function() {
               $("#submit").click(function(){
                   $.ajax({
                       url: "text.php",
                       type: "POST",
                       data: {
                           amount: $("#amount").val(),
                           firstName: $("#firstName").val(),
                           lastName: $("#lastName").val(),
                           email: $("#email").val()
                       },
                       dataType: "JSON",
                       success: function (jsonStr) {
                           $("#result").text(JSON.stringify(jsonStr));
                       }
                   });
               });
           });
       </script>
    </head>

    <body>
        <div id="result"></div>
        <form name="contact" id="contact" method="post">
            Amount: <input type="text" name="amount" id="amount"/><br/>
            firstName: <input type="text" name="firstName" id="firstName"/><br/>
            lastName: <input type="text" name="lastName" id="lastName"/><br/>
            email: <input type="text" name="email" id="email"/><br/>
            <input type="button" value="Get It!" name="submit" id="submit"/>
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

text.php

<?php
    $amount      = $_POST["amount"];
    $firstName   = $_POST["firstName"];
    $lastName    = $_POST["lastName"];
    $email       = $_POST["email"];
    if(isset($amount)){
        $data = array(
            "amount"     => $amount,
            "firstName"  => $firstName,
            "lastName"   => $lastName,
            "email"      => $email
        );
        echo json_encode($data);
    }
?>
