Create an array of arrays in jquery/javascript

Question

Can someone tell me how to create an array $custom_interval of key value pairs of days and hours:

custom_interval[[Mon][0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7]]
custom_interval[[Tue][0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7]] 

So that in PHP, I should be able to say

$hours = $custom_interval[$day];

The code that I have written gives me

[object Object]

This is the code:

//create a 2 dimentional array of days and time intervals and assign it to hidden input form element.
        for(var i=0; i<uniquedayArray.length; i++) {
                innerArray.push(uniquedayArray[i]);
                for(j=0;j<timeArray.length; j++){
                  outerArray[innerArray] = timeArray[j];
                }
        }
        alert(outerArray);

Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong? Thanks

Answer 1

Have you tried looking at Javascript objects?

You could do something like:

var data = {
"monday" : [1,2,3,4,5,6,7],
"tuesday" : [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
}

The you'd access information by saying data.monday[4]. The link introduces a method for dynamically creating these kinds of objects.
