get encoded JSON items

get encoded JSON items

I am having quite a bit of trouble getting items out of a json encoded array. I have searched this forum tirelessly and can't find anything except more confusion. I'm simply trying to retrieve data from a mysql db via ajax.

select.php:
echo $json_encode_data;
output is like so:
{
"0":"108","id":"108",
"1":"2010-03-09 17:12:43","date_submitted":"2010-03-09 17:12:43",
"2":"1","event_desc":"1",
"3":"2010-03-09","event_date":"2010-03-09"
}

index.php:
$.getJSON("select.php", function(data) {
      $.each(data.results, function(i, item){
      $("#print").append('<h2>' + item.text + '</h2>');
      });      
});
<div id="print"></div>

This is not working for me. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here or if this is even the right way to do it? Do you need to use a .json file when using .getJSON? I simply want to print data from my select.php file that has an json encoded array. If there is a more simple way to do this without using json encode please let me know.

Much appreciation!!!
Thank you!
