jQuery AJAX post return

jQuery AJAX post return

I need some guidance, research direction in writing a page.  The page is a “This day in history” page.

I successfully retrieved a dataset from a MySQL database whose definition is:

$varDump = array('date', 'description');

I returned the data to a jQuery AJAX post call with a PHP statement:

print_r ($varDump);

and when the data is returned it looks like below:

 Array ( [0] => date [1] => Rescription

[2] =>Array ( [date] => 1715-05-03 [description] => Edmund Halley observes total eclipse phenomenon "Baily's Beads" )

[3] => Array ( [date] => 1765-05-03 [description] => 1st US Medical school opened )

 [4] => Array ( [date] => 1797-05-03 [description] => Jamaica discovered by Columbus )

 

So the help I need is how to reorganize the data to build a table in my jQuery AJAX post.  I would appreciate guidance.

Thanks!
