This is probably an easy question, but I haven't been able to find a complete and specific answer. I create a json object in php with json_encode(), now i just need to get that object in javascript and parse it out. I wanted to do it in the same script, but I can do it another way if need be.
How do i get at this object from javascript?
<?php
$stuff = array('a' => 1, 'b' => 2);
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
var stuff = <?php print json_encode($stuff); ?>;
alert(stuff.a); // 1
</script>
<?php
$x = array(1,2,3);
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
var x = <?php echo json_encode($x);
</script>
would produce
<script type="text/javascript">
var x = [1,2,3];
</script>
If it's all in the same script you and just echo it into the page.
$my_json = json_encode($some_object);
echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
echo "var my_js_obj = $my_json;";
echo '</script>';
Now after that javascript can access the my_js_obj variable.
Lets say your php looks like this:
<?php
$myData = json_encode($some_data);
?>
Then in your javascript you can just assign that php variable to an object like this by echoing the value of that variable.
<script type="text/javascript">
var myObj = <?=$myData;?>;
</script>
I believe you want to do something like this:
<script>
var jsVar = <?php echo json_encode($phpData); ?>;
</script>
You simply echo the JSON string, since that is a syntax understood by JavaScript (JSON = JavaScript Object Notation).
