Create javascript object using php foreach

Question

How can I create the following using a PHP foreach from an array?

var options = [
    {text: "one", value: 1},
    {text: "two", value: 2},
    {text: "three", value: 3},
    {text: "four", value: 4}
];

my PHP Array looks like the following :

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [value] => 25000
            [text] => 25,000
        )
    [1] => Array
        (
            [value] => 25000
            [text] => 25,000
        )
)

How are the javascript and the php array related?

A simple JSON encode will do it:

echo "<script>var options = " . json_encode($array) . ';</script>';

Using json_encode() will do the trick without any foreach. Note that you have to use utf-8-encoded text in PHP, otherwise it will fail.

You can use json_last_error() function to check for errors if encoding fails.

Perhaps this is not very correct, but you can do the following:

<script>
var options = [

<?php foreach ($myArrays as $AnArray) { ?> 
    {text: "<?php echo $AnArray['text']; ?>", value: <?php echo $AnArray['value']; ?>},
<?php
}
?>

];
</script>
