Passing an array to Javascript in COMET

Question

I got a basic gist of what COMET does (the constant looping on server side, and printing out <script> tags way), so I am just fiddling with it.

I can pass a simple string from PHP to Javascript that way, but what about PHP arrays? Is there anyway to pass a PHP array to Javascript (casting it to a JS array??) using this method??

Answer 1

JSON is a data format that is a subset of JavaScript, that includes arrays as a data type.

See the specification and the PHP function for creating it.

You can convert your array to JSON and then pass it to JS in your script data.
