Distant data I attempt to retrieve with JSON.

[{"lat":"42.361730","lon":"-71.131594"}]

My javascript code which currently returns error.

var pins = $.ajax({
       type: 'GET',
       url: server_url,
       async: false,
       data: { q_type: 6 },
       dataType: 'jsonp',
       jsonp: 'jsoncallback',
       success: function(data) { return data; },
       error: function() { alert('Load error');  }
});

My php script

echo $_GET['jsoncallback'] . '[' . json_encode($new) . ']';

Here I know it should be parentheses but if I don't put brackets pins do not load. So I have to find a way to change parentheses by brackets when I send them through json.

Whats the server url? So we can test it for ourselves – FabianCook May 26 '13 at 01:49
Also I would suggest setting `contentType: 'application/json'` – FabianCook May 26 '13 at 01:50
use curved brackets instead of square brackets also see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14220321/how-to-return-the-response-from-an-ajax-call – Musa May 26 '13 at 01:54
server_url is the url to my server that I did not disclose here. It links to the php file that sends data to my page. – user2415277 May 26 '13 at 01:59
