Yet another PHP array -> JavaScript array function; this one is designed for multidimensional
associative arrays with string and/or number keys.
<?
function PhpArrayToJsArray($array, $arrayName)
{
return 'var ' . $arrayName . ' = ' . PhpArrayToJsArray_Recurse($array,
$arrayName);
}
function PhpArrayToJsArray_Recurse($array, $arrayName)
{
// Base case of recursion
if(! is_array($array) )
{
return '"' . $array . '";' . "\n";
}
$retVal = "new Array();\n";
foreach($array as $key => $value)
{
$key = '"' . $key . '"';
$retVal .= $arrayName . '[' . $key . '] = ' .
PhpArrayToJsArray_Recurse($value, $arrayName . '[' . $key . ']');
}
return $retVal;
}
?>
So for example:
<?
$theArray = array("A" => array("a", "b", "c" =>
array("x")), "B" => "y");
echo PhpArrayToJsArray($theArray, "myArray");
?>
Gives
myArray = new Array();
myArray["A"] = new Array();
myArray["A"]["0"] = "a";
myArray["A"]["1"] = "b";
myArray["A"]["c"] = new Array();
myArray["A"]["c"]["0"] = "x";
myArray["B"] = "y";
Pretty powerful, in my opinion.
