You could convert the PHP array to JSON using json_encode, then echo the json string into the Javascript in your page and use Javascript JSONObject to convert it into a JS array

I think eval is more then enough in javascript :D –  Jeff Lee May 21 '13 at 9:32
 
@JeffLee not to split hairs, but doesn't eval() return an Object not an Array? I know the difference is little, but just going with the OP's question here. ;) –  fullybaked May 21 '13 at 9:35

json_encode($your_array);

is the right way to do this. It converts your php array to this string:

[{imgae_name:1,image_url:"a"},{imgae_name:2,image_url:"b"}]

Then you only have to assign it to a variable in a script tag.

In php

<?
$array = array("A" => "1", "B" => "2");
echo json_encode($array);
?>

In Javascript

var mObject = eval("(" + phpecho + ")");

Then you can access the value :

 mObject.A // 1
