data[heading]

You don't have a heading variable.

To get the property with that name, simply write

data.heading

From what I can see in your code, you are returning valid json from your php, but it seems that you have not told $.ajax() what kind of data is being returned. You need to set dataType: 'json' in your $.ajax() call.
