How to replace javascript array with php array?

Question

I have this javascript array

   <script>
$(function() {
 var foo= [ "one",
            "two",
            "three",
            "one",
            "final"];
</script>

Now, I am trying to replace the foo with a PHP array.

<?php $array = array("sky","mac","rain","bob","sep","ion"); ?>

Now, I tried

<script>
    $(function() {
     var foo= [<?php array("sky","mac","rain","bob","sep","ion"); ?> ];
    </script>

But, it seems not to be working

Answer 1

IN PHP you can use the method json_encode() to convert most PHP arrays into JSON, which is a legit object in JavaScript.

<?php $array = array("sky","mac","rain","bob","sep","ion"); ?>

<script>
// ...
var foo = <?php echo json_encode( $array ); ?>;
// ...
</script>

Answer 2

var foo= ['<?php print implode("','", array("sky","mac","rain","bob","sep","ion")); ?>'];
