php array loop in jquery: alert [ object object]

Question

I have an array in php named $post_id

$post_id = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT DISTINCT user_id FROM $wpdb->pmpro_membership_orders");

I iterate through a PHP array in jQuery

 jQuery(document).ready(function( $ ) {

        var id_user = userSettings.uid ;
    //  alert(id_user);
        var arrayFromPHP = <?php echo json_encode($post_id) ?>;
        $.each(arrayFromPHP, function (i, elem) {
            // do your stuff
            if (id_user  == JSON.stringify(elem)){
                alert('yess');
                alert(JSON.stringify(elem));
            }
            else{
                alert(id_user);
                alert(JSON.stringify(elem));

            }
        });

    });

and i get always in my alert [object object]. and id_user alert , but he should show 5 'yess' and the id that he equal to id user.

Show your research. Have you tried debugging this yourself? What is actually being tested by the if statement, and is it expected? SO is not a great debugger, so you are encourage to do this yourself first: ericlippert.com/2014/03/05/how-to-debug-small-programs — user1531971

what json_encode does is convert to a text string in json format

example:

$post_id = array(array("id" => 1), array("id" => 2));

$json_string = json_encode($post_id);

// json_string = "[{"id" => 1, "id" => 2}]"

In Java script

var arrayFromPHP = <?php echo json_encode($post_id) ?>;
console.log(arrayFromPHP);
// arrayFromPHP = "[{"id" => 1, "id" => 2}]" <-- (string)

var arrayFromPHP = JSON.parse('<?php echo json_encode($post_id) ?>');
console.log(arrayFromPHP);
// arrayFromPHP = [{"id" => 1, "id" => 2}]  <-- JavaScript Object|Array
