Passing array from .php file to .html file

Question

How to pass an array from .php file to .html file ?

   <?php 
       $arr= array(
            "first_name" => "Darian",
            "last_name" => "Brown",
            "age" => "28",
            "email" => "[email protected]"
    );
   ?>

i have a .html file and i want to send my result from my .php file to .html file for further usage.

In the html file, use AJAX to call php file and get the result. — Muthu Kumaran

HTML by itself doesn't do processing and can't handle arrays.

You have two options, if it's at page creation, insert a php snippet that takes the array and generates appropriate HTML.

If it's after the page has been drawn, use a framework like jQuery or JavaScript to get the array from the php file (learn about JSON in this case, it will facilitate the work, see documentation here) and then modify the DOM accordingly.

For example, if your script is accessed through AJAX (like jQuery), you could do something like:

<?php 
    $list = array( array('user_1', 1, 'continue'),
        array('user_2', 2 , '
        array('user_1', 3 , 'finish') 
    ); 
    echo json_encode($list);    
?>

@jc_tan yes, and you would receive the content in xmlhttp.responseText

emartel, may i know how can i bring a variable from <?php ?> to <script></script> ?

You probably should json_encode your array and then echo it in PHP. Then, in JavaScript, I strongly suggest you take a look at jQuery and use getJSON - api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON

$(document).ready(function(){ $.getJSON('array.php', function(data) { $.each(data, function(key, val) { $('ul').append('<li id="' + key + '">' + val.first_name + ' ' + val.last_name + ' ' + val.email + ' ' + val.age + '</li>'); }); }); }); i cant access to it, it is due to the location ?

You cannot include the array result in an html file. Both the files have to be php. You can find more info on adding them in a php file here
