Ok here is what I am trying to acheive, basically turning a php array into a javascript array, note this is untested and most likley won't work :-) Where $array_name I need the same name as the functions first and only argument $array, so I need the name of the array that has been passed to the function. /////////////////////////////////////////////////// function makeJSArray($array) {
      $out = "$array_name = new Array(";
      $size = sizeof($array);
      $i = 0;
      while ( list($key, $val) = each($array) ) {
      $out .= "$array_name[$key] = $val";
      if ($size != $i - 1)
      $out .= ",";
      }
      $out .= ");";
      return $out;
} ///////////////////////////////////////////////// Thanks, Joseph
He he, would also help if I closed my while loop and added the increment for $i
