print array formatting 1

[stormbind]

Hi all,

My simple desire is to print the contents of an array in PHP for use in Javascript. Something like this:

<script language="text/javascript">
var import = { <?php print_f($export) ?> };
</script>

The problem is that the values aren't being printed the way Javascript expects them, which is { "one", "two", "three" } etc.

Please post suggestions. Thank you!

if you use

$jsarr = print_r($phparr, true);

print_r will return its output to a string which you can then manipulate. but in fact this won't work for js either.

something like this might though

function arraytojs($array){
 $str = "";
 foreach ($array as $val):
   $str .=  "'".$val."',";
 endforeach;
 $str = rtrim($str, ",");
 return $str;
}
<script>
  var jsarray = array(<?=arraytojs($arraytoconvert)?>);
</script>
