  </script>
  <script type="text/javascript">

    {
       $.ajax({
       url: "script.php",

May be it the same issue reported in http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php -
running json_encode() over a SimpleXML object was ignoring the CDATA. ...

You need to convert the SimpleXML object back into an XML string, then re-import it back into SimpleXML using the LIBXML_NOCDATA option. Once you do this, then you can use json_encode() and still get back the CDATA.

<?php
// Pretend we already have a complex SimpleXML object stored in $xml
$json = json_encode(new SimpleXMLElement($xml->asXML(), LIBXML_NOCDATA));
?>
