jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

I cannot import my json data into a grid.  I get an empty grid.  I hope someone has a solution.  

The json data seems to be improperly formated.

It looks like this:

{"total":"3","page":"1","records":"71",
"rows":{
"1":{"id":"1","cell":[1," Configuration Method","Using traditional Weather Display"]},
"2":{"id":"2","cell":[2,"CSSprint","weather-print-php.css"]},
"3":{"id":"3","cell":[3,"CSSscreen","weather-screen-black-narrow.css"]}, ...
]}}}

The problem is with the {"1" after "rows": and the "n" before each new {"id": which I have highlighted in the jSon above.

It should be "rows":[{"id"}

If I hand code the JSon it works.

The relevant php is:

if($page > 1)
        {
            $i = $page*30;
        }
        else
            $i = 1;
$rows = array();      
$responce['total'] = "$total_pages";
$responce['page'] = "$page";
$responce['records'] = "$count";
    
foreach ($this->wdConfig as $key=>$value)
    {
        $responce['rows'][$i]['id'] = "$i";
        $responce['rows'][$i] ['cell'] = array($i,$key,$value);
        $i++;
    }
 
$this-wdConfig is an object that has key/value configuration pairs in it.

The jSon output can be seen at:

I see a couple of possible approaches, but cannot figure either out.

1.  Get the jSon to format properly (i.e, what jQgrid expects)

2.  Configure jSonReader to handle my jSon

I will try and report back on any suggestions given to me.

Thanks.
