Problem with storing values in Array from php to AJAX
index.php

<html>
<head>
	<title>Main Page</title>
	<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
	function ajaxFunction()
	{
		var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
		xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function()
		{
			if(xmlhttp.readyState==4)
			{
				var arr = new Array(xmlhttp.responseText);
				alert(arr[0]);
			}
		}
		xmlhttp.open("GET","main.php?q="+document.frm.Act.options[document.frm.Act.selectedIndex].value,true);
		xmlhttp.send(null);
	}
	</script>
</head>
<body>
	<form name="frm" id="frm" method="post">
	<table>
		<tbody>
			<tr>
				<td>
					<select name="Act" id="Act" onchange="ajaxFunction()">
					<option value="0" selected="selected">[Select]</option>
					<?php
						include("config.php");
						$query = mysql_query("select * from activity");
						while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query))
						{
							echo'<option value="'.$row['code'].'">'.$row['act'].'</option>';
						}
						mysql_close($con);
					?>
					</select>
				</td>
			</tr>
		</tbody>
	</table>
</body>
</html>

main.php

<?php
	include("config.php");
	$row = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM activity WHERE code ='".$_GET["q"]."'"));
	echo"\"".$row[2]."\",\"".$row[3]."\",\"".$row[4]."\",\"".$row[5]."\"";
	mysql_close($con);
?>

The main.php returns the values in the format - "21","32","2","33"
So the javascript should store it in an array, but it shows the whole value in arr[0], where arr[0] = "21","32","2","33"
while it should be
arr[0] = "21"
arr[1] = "32"
arr[2] = "2"
arr[3] = "33"
What is the problem? What should I do to get the desired result?

Changing

var arr = new Array(xmlhttp.responseText);

with

var arr = xmlhttp.responseText.Split(',');

did the job for me.
