Google chart and php arrays

Question

I have the following three php arrays. Three of them are key value pairs

$needles = ["Needle1", "Needle2", "Needle3", "Needle4", "Needle5"];

$uph1 = ["Needle1" => 3, "Needle3" => 5, "Needle4" => 7];

$uph2 = ["Needle1" => 4, "Needle2" => 2, "Needle3" => 4];

$uph3 = ["Needle1" => 4, "Needle2" => 5, "Needle3" => 7, "Needle4" => 2];

$numberOfItems is the total number of items in the $needles array which is 5

I am trying to plot this using google charts as below

The following is loading google charts

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script>

The following is the div that shows chart

<div id="chart_div" style="width: 900px; height: 500px;"></div>

The following is populating chart

google.charts.load('current', {
  'packages': ['corechart']
});
google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawVisualization);

function drawVisualization() {
  // Some raw data (not necessarily accurate)
  var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
    ['Needle', 'One', 'Two', 'Three'],
    <?php
                
            for($i=0; $i<$numberOfItems; $i++){
                if(array_key_exists($needles[$i],$uph1) || array_key_exists($needles[$i],$uph2) || array_key_exists($needles[$i],$uph3)){
                    if($i != ($numberOfItems-1)){
                        
//                        echo '["'.$needles[$i].'", 2, 4, 6],'; //This is working
                        echo '["'.$needles[$i].'", '.$uph1[$needles[$i]].', '.$uph2[$needles[$i]].', '.$uph3[$needles[$i]].'],'; //This is not working
                    }else{
//                        echo '["'.$needles[$i].'", '.$uph1[$needles[$i]].', '.$uph2[$needles[$i]].', '.$uph3[$needles[$i]].']';
                    }
                }
            }
            ?>

  ]);

  var options = {
    title: 'Average UPH Per Month',
    vAxis: {
      title: 'Avg UPH'
    },
    hAxis: {
      title: 'Needle Type'
    },
    seriesType: 'bars',
    series: {
      3: {
        type: 'line'
      }
    }
  };

  var chart = new google.visualization.ComboChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
  chart.draw(data, options);
}

As you can see my comments in the code above, when I try to echo the array ($uph1, $uph2, $uph3) values using the key ($needles[$i]), it is not working. I having Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<' error in my console. I used some static values instead of using the above mentioned arrays, it is working fine.

Does anyone know what am I doing wrong here?

** Edit 1 **

I solved it adding the following if condition before the if($i != ($numberOfItems-1)){ }

if(array_key_exists($needles[$i],$uph1)){
    $uph1Avg = $uph1[$needles[$i]];
}else{
    $uph1Avg = 0;
}

if(array_key_exists($needles[$i],$uph2)){
    $uph2Avg = $uph2[$needles[$i]];
}else{
    $uph2Avg = 0;
}

if(array_key_exists($needles[$i],$uph3)){
    $uph3Avg = $uph3[$needles[$i]];
}else{
    $uph3Avg = 0;
}

Issue was due to some of the keys don't exist in the key value arrays $uphx. Because the main if condition is checking if key exist or not in any one of the $uphx array. So if any one key exist, it will go into if block. But please remember that some of the keys may not present in some of the $uphx arrays.

You can push your array value inside javascript array and then pass this to your google chart . So, use below code :

<script>
var arrays = [['Needle', 'One', 'Two', 'Three']] //your intial column..
var dummy = [] //declare this
 <?php
      for($i=0; $i<count($needles); $i++){ ?>
        dummy.push('<?php echo $needles[$i]; ?>',<?php echo (array_key_exists($needles[$i],$uph1)) ? $uph1[$needles[$i]] : 0 ; ?>,<?php echo (array_key_exists($needles[$i],$uph2)) ? $uph2[$needles[$i]] : 0 ; ?>,<?php echo (array_key_exists($needles[$i],$uph3)) ? $uph3[$needles[$i]] : 0 ; ?>)  
        arrays.push(dummy)//push value inside main array
        dummy =[] //clear all value
 <?php }
  ?>
google.charts.load('current', {
  'packages': ['corechart']
});
google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawVisualization);

function drawVisualization() {

  var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable(
    arrays); //pass it here

  var options = {
    title: 'Average UPH Per Month',
    vAxis: {
      title: 'Avg UPH'
    },
    hAxis: {
      title: 'Needle Type'
    },
    seriesType: 'bars',
    series: {
      3: {
        type: 'line'
      }
    }
  };

  var chart = new google.visualization.ComboChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
  chart.draw(data, options);
}
</script>

Thank you Swati. I solved it using php way itself. Issue was due sometimes there is array_key_exists only for certain $uphx. But since there is at least one exist, it will go into the if condition. However there is no value for other $uphx keys. That is why error. I did one more check inside the main if condition and it works. Anyway thanks for your way of solving it too

the easiest way is to pass your php table to javascript and do the processing in javascript before using it to create yout charts

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