Get data array from PHP to JavaScript

Question

I want to get data array from php to Javascript. (Actually I am doing plotting using javascript library and the data is in the database: I get the data using php script and want to use that data for plotting). I have tried to use a JSON for this. My code looks follows but it is not working. Please give me a help on this

 <script type="text/javascript">
<?php
 $php_arr=array('abc','def'); // I want to transport this array to javascript
 echo "display_diagram(" . json_encode($php_arr) . ")";
?>
 function display_diagram(data) {
 obj = JSON.parse(data); // this is not working for me 

• hek2mgl: what means not working?
• Pointy: You don't have to parse it at all. The parameter "data" will be the actual array.

Answer 1

Try use data variable in display_diagram function without JSON.parse. You now give data attribute in json format and this not require additional json parsing.

Check this:

<script>
<?php
 $php_arr=array('abc','def'); // I want to transport this array to javascript
 echo "display_diagram(" . json_encode($php_arr) . ")";
?>
function display_diagram(data){
 obj = data;
 alert(obj);
}
</script>
