Parsing a PHP array into a JavaScript array

Question

I'm trying to parse a PHP multidimensional array into a Javascript array.

So far, I've got:

<?php
 foreach ($array as $key => $userArray){

 echo "array[] = array['{$userArray['name']}', {$userArray['count']}, {$userArray['userId']}]; \n";
 }
?>

from and array that looks like:

$array[] = array(
'name' => 'John Doe',
'userId' => '12',
'count' => '31'
);

Thanks,

Answer 1

Why don't you just use json_encode()?

<?php

  echo 'var array = ' . json_encode( $array );

?>

Answer 2

you want json_encode()

<?php 
    $jsonArray = json_encode($array);
    echo $jsonArray; //outputs {"name": 'John Doe',"userId" : 12, "count" : 31}
?>

Answer 3

Utilize the json_encode along with the array_map function to do what you need:

echo json_encode(array_map(function($user) 
  return array(
     'name' => $user['name'],
     'userId' => $user['userId'],
     'count' => $user['age']
),$userArray));
