wordpress ajax won't send response as array, why?

Question

i have worked for wordpress project which need to call back some result from database via ajax .

the problem is the response will be in string form which is not as i aspect .

here is whats my try :

//The PHP
function edit_something() {
    
    if ( isset($_REQUEST) ) {
        global $wpdb;

         $ID = intval( $_REQUEST['ID'] );
             $query= "SELECT * FROM `TABLE` WHERE `ID` = '$ID';";
             $result= $wpdb->get_results( $queryHavadesEnsani, 'ARRAY_A' );
             print_r( $resultsHavadesEnsani );  
         }
    }


    die();
}
add_action( 'wp_ajax_edit_something', 'edit_something' );

and the endpoint

function myplugin_ajaxurl() {

echo '<script type="text/javascript">
       var ajaxurl = "' . admin_url('admin-ajax.php') . '";
       </script>';
}

add_action('wp_head', 'myplugin_ajaxurl');

at the end the jquery

function sendAjax( ID ) {
            $.ajax({
                url: ajaxurl,
                type: 'POST',
                data: {
                    'action' : 'edit_something',
                    'ID' : ID
                },
                success:function(data) {
                    console.log(data)
                },
                error: function(errorThrown){
                    console.log(errorThrown);

you should send the response as JSON, `print_r` does not produce JSON — jrswgtr, Oct 12 '21 at 14:51
@jrswgtr thank you verrrry much bro (((((( : use wp_send_json() instead print_r() and work as magic — hossein khosromanesh, Oct 12 '21 at 14:56

I guess instead of "echo" you should use wp_send_json_success
