   $("#pru").html(dat.Name); //here it doesn't show anything if I put alert(data) it show me all the array json
}

$("#pru").html(resp[0].Name); Edit: + read Joseph's answer – Peter Jan 28 at 1:12
It is already parsed, you just have to access it properly. – Felix Kling Jan 28 at 1:13

@Peter Szymkowski I already changed $("#pru").html(dat[0].Name) and it doesn't work – Kakitori Jan 28 at 1:14

Do you know what the brackets in $locations[] = do? – fab Jan 28 at 1:16
@FelixKling - How? Unless the server is sending valid JSON headers (which I doubt) or the data type is set to JSON (which the OP has not shown), how would it already be parsed? – Joseph Silber Jan 28 at 1:17

You shouldn't use print_r to send JSON. Just do a regular echo:

$locations = array(
    'Name' => $name,
    'Latitude' => $lat,
    'Longitude' => $long
);

echo json_encode($locations);

You also have a syntax error in your code (the closing brace for the array), and I think you're unintentionally creating a multi-dimensional array. Use the code above, and it should work.

Technically right but it does not make a difference, since json_encode always returns a string and print_r on strings just behaves like print/echo. – fab Jan 28 at 1:14
@fab - True, which is why I also point out 2 other problems in the code. – Joseph Silber Jan 28 at 1:15
