PHP has method known as json_encode and json_decode which can me used to handle json data in php, while the json data can be directly accessed in javascript so I think you should look into that

You would have to specify

dataType: 'json'

then, your data would be in a javascript array:

function submitForm()
    {
        var dataString = $("#userForm").serialize();
        console.log(dataString);
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "/altausers",
            data: dataString,
            dataType: 'json',
            success: function(text)
            {
               if(text.length > 0) {
               $.each(text,function(index,value) {
                    alert('Response: '+ value);
               }

            }
        });

}

However, you would have to make sure that php ALWAYS returns a json-encoded response... even if you do it manually like:

<?php echo "[success]"; ?>

In javascript, you would just test

if(text[0] == 'success') { //hurray!!
}

Technically you don't _have_ to specify `dataType: 'json'` if you're sending a `Content-type: application/json` header. — h2ooooooo, Feb 24 '16 at 08:54
@h2ooooooo you're right. Additionally, other mime types can be sent which will produce a different data result (if you do not use `dataType`). see: http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/ — Valerie, Feb 24 '16 at 09:02
