Solution 1:

I am assuming you are going to do something with this data so you'll need to know what you are looking for.

Get your PHP to serve up JSON with keys like so:

{"Bob": "24", "Sue": "12"}

This way you can access the information you need or just loop through the whole lot. I've made a little fiddle which I am hoping will help you understand.

Ultimately you simply want to use the jQuery $.getJSON to pull the information and then deal with it however you please.

If you need PHP to output in the format you specified then you can do:

$people = array("24", "12", "16", "48");
var_dump(json_encode($people));
