Pass json object from php to javascript

Question

I have a json array in php and I want to pass it to javascript so I can use it with google charts.

If I do this:

var a = <?php echo((json_encode($data))); ?>;

I get the data in the format Name,Value,PHP,78,JAVA,1000,HTML,129 but I want to keep it in the json format that it was in

[["Name","Value"],["PHP",78],["JAVA",1000],["HTML",129]]

because google charts needs to receive it like this. Any idea how to do this?

You can't. Only workaround would be using AJAX or something. — Andrei P.

no error just still getting it in the wrong format when I test. I think because I am changing it to a javascript variable but I just want to keep it as a json array

<?php $data = Array (); $data [] = Array ("Name", "Value"); $data [] = Array ("PHP", 78); $data [] = Array ("JAVA", 1000); $data [] = Array ("HTML", 129); $table = json_encode($data); echo $table ; ?>
