• adeneo: Why not just output something from PHP that makes sense instead, for instance JSON
• user5107123: i output Json :D but i have some function inside Json i must run them so i loaded them scripts as array also and run them functions as array but its and string this is the problem
• charlietfl: What problem are you trying to solve by putting function calls in string data?

Answer 1

This would be much simpler not putting function calls in string data and using object properties to accomplish the same thing using client side logic

JSON

[{"log": "ok ok"},{"log": "pagelet.js loaded"},{"log":false},{"log":false}]

JS (after parsing json)

$.each(serverArray, function(_, item){
 if(item.log){
 console.log(item.log);
 }
});
