Pass a php array into Javascript

[dongbamage]

Hey guys, I'm having trouble passing a php array into a javascript array.

I am trying to use implode to pass the php array, but its not working properly.

var ads=new adArray("<?=implode(",", $array); ?>");

Can anyone see where I'm going wrong?


Here is my code:

<?
include ('db_connect.php');
$arraycount=0;
$counter++;
$counter2=($counter+1);
$counter3=($counter+2);
$sql= "select StockID, Photo, StockName from stock";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die ("shit");
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo ARRAYCOUNT;
echo $arraycount;

$image=$row["Photo"]."catthumb.gif";
echo " IMAGE:";
echo $image;
$StockID=$row["StockID"];
echo " STOCKID:";
$linkStockID=$stockID;
$StockName=$row["StockName"];
echo NAME;
echo $StockName;
$array[$arraycount]["src"]=$image;

$array[$arraycount]["href"]=$StockID;
#echo ("<a href='?Prodlink=ProductShow?id=$StockID'>".
#"<img src='$image'> </a>");



echo " HREF: ";
echo $array[$arraycount][href];
echo " SRC: ";
echo $array[$arraycount][src];

$arraycount++;
}

print_r($array);

?>

Try forum434. Incidentally, what your function looks like it prints is this:

// print_r($array) in my example
Array
{
    [0] => Hello
    [1] => world,
    [2] => How
    [3] => ya
    [4] => doin?
}

// result:
var ads=new adArray("Hello,world,,How,ya,doin?");

// what you want
var ads=new adArray("Hello","world,","How","ya","doin?");

// Maybe
var ads=new adArray("<?=implode("[red]\",\"[/red]", $array); ?>");
// would work
