Parsing PHP/JSON data in Javascript

Question

I'm trying to communicate AJAX, JSON to PHP and then PHP returns some data and I'm trying to parse it with Javascrpt.

From the php, server I return,

    echo json_encode($data); 

    // it outputs ["123","something","and more something"]

and then in client-side,

success : function(data){

    //I want the data as following

    // data[0] = 123
    // data[1] = something
    // data[3] = and more something
}

But, it gives as;

        data[0] = [ 
        data[1] = " 
        data[2] = 1

It is reading each character but I want strings from the array, not individual characters. What is happening here? Thanks in advance, I am new to Javascript and JSON, AJAX.

JSON.parse(data) should do the trick.
