Assuming that your using Ajax as your method to download the json, you would echo the result of the json_encode:

<?php

	$array = array("a"=>"Caucho", "b"=>"Resin", "c"=>"Quercus");

	echo json_encode($array);

?>

and then within your call back event, you'd eval the response:

var obj = eval('(' + req.ResponseText + ')');
for(var i in obj) {
	alert(i + ': ' + obj[i]);
}

Assuming that you have an XMLHttpRequest object with the name req.

You could request the JSON data with AJAX or you could pass the data from PHP to JavaScript as a JavaScript variable:

$array = array("a"=>"Caucho", "b"=>"Resin", "c"=>"Quercus");
$json = json_encode($array);

echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
echo 'var myJson = "' . $json . '";';
echo '</script>';

edit: you have to eval the json string, otherwise you will just have a string not a object...

Off course keeping in mind all the guidelines about mixing PHP/HTML/JavaScript...

I would submit a +1 for doing it via ajax instead, since you can then simply eval the returned json snippet and you don't have to worry about mixing php/javascript/html. – localshred Jan 20 '09 at 7:25
