Php pass array to Javascript

Question

I want an array in Javascript, structure like this

        $(function()
    {
        // prepare the data
        for (var i=0; i<50000; i++) {
            var d = (data[i] = {});

            d["id"] = "id_" + i;
            d["num"] = i;
            d["title"] = "Task " + i;
            d["duration"] = "5 days";
        }

I want this array to be created through php. I already have the array there created by for loop

EDITED:

Is the above data in Javascript a multidimensional array, a simple array or a var?

is the structure saved in "d" or in data[i][id],data[i][title],... ?

And please mark the best answer to your question here.

ie, $data = array('item' => 'description', 'item2' => 'description2');

json_encode($data);

All you need

Dumping an array of 50,000 elements onto the page is hardly ideal, but without more info I don't see a better solution.

I don't think putting 50,000 of anything onto one page using any method is ideal.

Use json_encode() to encode the array.

Access PHP variable in JavaScript That example works with arrays, too.

Sorry, I don't get you. What do you mean by saying "it's quicker"?

could you give an example in php how the structure of the array has to look to fit into the Javascript. The javascript part as i understood your answer is simply echoing var d=<?php echo json_encode($data); ?>;

Jonah Over a year ago

Any array, string, or integer can be passed through. Json_encode takes care of the rest.
