I've got a 2D array in php that looks like this:

$pi = 0;
$pf[$pi][0] = 0;
$pf[$pi][1] = 0;
$pf[$pi][2] = 1;
$pf[$pi][3] = 1;
$pf[$pi][4] = "Johnny come lately";
$pf[$pi][5] = 7;
$pi++;
$pf[$pi][0] = 0;
$pf[$pi][1] = 0;
$pf[$pi][2] = 1;
$pf[$pi][3] = 2;
$pf[$pi][4] = "Peter Pan had a mother";
$pf[$pi][5] = 14;
$pi++;
$pf[$pi][0] = 0;
$pf[$pi][1] = 0;
$pf[$pi][2] = 1;
$pf[$pi][3] = 3;
$pf[$pi][4] = "The elf in green";
$pf[$pi][5] = 6;

ETC

How do I get this array into js so I can therein manipulate it?

Thanks for your time - Meir

I'm no JavaScript expert, but my guess is that you'd do some loops on the array you set up, and then print out the JavaScript code using the PHP variables.

Yes - but I have yet to get it working. I'm not too good at javascript, let alone in interaction with php. I need to figure out how to convert the array into a javascript array because it's much too long an array to simply type in.

Try something like this

PHP Code:

<?php



// start off the javascript array stirng

$js_array = 'var pf = [';



// loop into the first dimension

for($i = 0, $ic = (count($pf)-1); $i < $ic; $i++)

{

    // add a new javascript array to the js_stirng

    $js_array .= '[';

    

    // loop through the second dimension

    for($x = 0, $xc = (count($pf[$i])-1); $x < $xc; $x++)

    {

        // add the data to the js_array

        $js_array .= '"'.$pf[$i][$x].'"';

        

        // if its not the last peice of data, add a comma

        if($x != $xc)

            $js_array .= ',';

    }

    

    // end the javascript array

    $js_array .= ']';

    

    // if its not the last peice of data, add a comma

    if($i != $ic)

        $js_array .= ',';

}



// finish the js_array string

$js_array .= '];';



// now just print the js

?>



<script language="javascript">

<!--

<?=$js_array?>

//-->

</script>

mine is much liek this and i tried what you gave him and it does not work.

$new ='';
$js_arr_img = 'var slideimages=new Array(';
$js_arr_link = 'var slidelinks=new Array(';
if(!$nr||mysql_num_rows($nr)==0) {
$new = "No New Releases found.<br>";
$js_arr_img .= '")';
$js_arr_link .= '")';
} // end if
else {
for($x = 0, $xc = (mysql_num_rows($nr)); $x < $xc; $x++)
{
$arr = mysql_fetch_array($nr);
$new .= "<b>".ucfirst($arr['band'])."</b> - <a href=\"$arr[mp3link]\" target=\"_blank\">&quot;".ucwords($arr['mp3text'])."&quot;<br></a>";
// add the data to the js array
$js_arr_img .= '"'.$arr['img'].'"';
$js_arr_link .= '"'.$arr['link'].'"';
// if its not the last peice of data, add a comma
if($x != $xc-1) {
$js_arr_img .= ',';
$js_arr_link .= ',';
} //end if
}
// end the javascript array
$js_arr_img .= ')';
$js_arr_link .= ')';
} // end else

echo $js_arr_img;

the echo at teh end outputs the js var declaration correctly so i'm lost.
