Access JSON_encode array objects

I have a problem access values from array objects.

From PHP I send my array of objects like this

initiate_data(".json_encode($my_array).");

From javascript to check the array I have this code

function initiate_data(my_array){
window.alert(my_array);}

The data I have is

{'name':'name1','surname':'surname1','email':'email1'},{'name':'name2','surname':'surname2','email':'email2'},{'name':'name3','surname':'surname3','email':'email3'}

I am also able to access the first object

window.alert(my_array[0]);

The result is

{'name':'name1','surname':'surname1','email':'email1'}

My problem is that I cannot access name from the object.

I have tried (my_array[0].name) and I get undefined

I googled for the solution but I cannot get a solution specific to my problem

when I try to access my_array[0][0] the result {

Thank you for your help thus far

console.log gives me this

Additional Info**

The php class implements JsonSerializable and I have created a array of the object, I hope this will help in clarifying my problem

Temporary Fix

Although they might be a better way to do it, this is what I have done to solve the problem

var my_obj = JSON.parse(my_array[0]);

Now I am able to access name

console.log(my_obj.name);

Gives me name1

Temporary Fix, Until I am able to pass all the array to a variable.
