I am starting with a new site (it's my first one) and I am getting big troubles ! I wrote this code

<?php
    include("misc.inc");
    $cxn=mysqli_connect($host,$user,$password,$database) or die("couldn't connect to server");
    $query="SELECT DISTINCT country FROM stamps";
    $result=mysqli_query($cxn,$query) or die ("couldn't execute query");
    $numberOfRows=mysqli_num_rows($result);

    for ($i=0;$i<$numberOfRows;$i++){
        $row=mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
        extract($row);
        $a=json_encode($row);
        $a=$a.",";
        echo $a;
    }
?>

and the output is as follows :

{"country":"liechtenstein"},{"country":"romania"},{"country":"jugoslavia"},{"country":"polonia"},

which should be a correct JSON outout ...

How can I get it now in Jquery ? I tried with

$.getJSON 

but I am not able to fuse it properly. I don't want yet to pass the data to a DIV or something similar in HTML.
