Convert array from php to javascript?

Question

How do i take a php array

$arr = (('date'=>'03-22-2012', 'count'=>1000 ), ('date'=>'03-23-2011', 'count'=>1170 ));

and convert it to:

var arr = [['03-22-2012', 1000], ['03-23-2011', 1170]]

usable by a javascript function?

is there an easy way to do this?

that is pretty easy to convert ... do you want to use it via AJAX ?? or you just want to convert PHP array to comparable JavaScript array — Baba

Only your php array definition looks a bit strange :)

$arr = array(
    array('03-22-2012', 1000 ),
    array('03-23-2011', 1170 )
);

echo "var = ".json_encode($arr).";";

Output

var = [["03-22-2012",1000],["03-23-2011",1170]];
