instead of echo $arr_variable; use echo json_encode($arr_variable); and then in jQuery you can access it like an object.

Once it is an object, you can access it as data[0] and so forth.

$.post('get.php',function(data){
    $.each(data, function(d, v){
        alert(v);
    });
});

Use to encode the array like

$data['result'] = $arr_variable;
echo json_encode($data);
exit;

And in the success function try to get it like parseJSON like

$.post('get.php',function(data){
    var res = $.parseJSON(data);
    alert(res.result)
});
