$scope data in array format in angular

Question

A have test application on angular. I try receive data from php page in my model. The response come with this command echo json_encode($arr); from php file and has this format [{"id":"1","name":"first","text":"description"}]. To receive this data in my model need to use only query cause .get give an error. My query in controller: $scope.item = Items.query({id:$routeParams.id}); Now if I want to use this data in my model i need to specify my array item[0].name Thats not problem but when i try to save edited data

 $scope.item[0].$save({id:$scope.item[0].id});

i have an error TypeError: Object # has no method 'push'

What am I doing wrong?

If you have the resource setup correctly, you should be able to save by simply calling:

$scope.item[0].$save();

However, it doesn't look like you are doing that. When you use query, it normally return an array. As you are querying for a single ID, you should really be using the get method:

$scope.item = Items.get({id:$routeParams.id});
...
// Modify $scope.item as needed
...
$scope.item.$save();

The simplest way to define a resource is to use default actions provided by Angular:

.factory('Items', function($resource) {
    return $resource('/angular/angular-seed/app/questions/php/maintext.php');
});

As per Angular Documentation:

The default set contains these actions:
{ 'get':    {method:'GET'},
  'save':   {method:'POST'},
  'query':  {method:'GET', isArray:true},
  'remove': {method:'DELETE'},
  'delete': {method:'DELETE'} };
