Suppose that I have a string $var:
//php code
$var = "hello,world,test";
$exp = explode(",",$var);
Now I get the array as exp[0],exp[1],exp[1] as 'hello', 'world' and 'test', respectively.
I want to use this all value in javascript in this:
var name = ['hello','world','test'];
How can I generate that JavaScript in PHP?
I would have thought json_encode would be the most reliable and simplest way.
E.g.
$var = "hello,world,test";
$exp = explode(",",$var);
print json_encode($exp);
JSON_HEX_TAG flag if you are in a <script> block to avoid </ in the string breaking the script block, or JSON_HEX_TAG|JSON_HEX_AMP for XHTML compatibility.
json_encode - can I suggest adding some sample code that the OP can use? Hopefully he'll then accept your answer instead, and I can delete mine.
Wouldn't an easier way be like this:
$var = "hello,world,test";
$var = str_replace(",", "','", $var);
Then wherever you're spitting out JavaScript (assuming you can use PHP there):
var name = ['<?php echo $var; ?>'];
This doesn't deal properly with quoted values though - if you want that, you're better off with using fgetscsv et al.
If you're determined to use explode, then you can use its other-half, implode like this in your output:
var name = ['<? php echo implode("','", $var); ?>'];
