    text
    copied!<p>I am working on a Wordpress plugin and I need to pass PHP array to Javascript array. I have tried using join(), implode() and even Json_encode. But, the wordpress is not displaying any value.</p> <p>When using join(), I used the code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $php1 = array(1,2,3); ?&gt; &lt;script language='Javascript'&gt; var lat = ["&lt;?php echo join("\", \"", $php1); ?&gt;"]; document.write(lat[1]); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>If used on localhost(without wordpress), the above code provides a valid output. But, somehow, its not working on Wordpress. The "apache error log" show this message:</p> <p>PHP Warning: join() [function.join]: Invalid arguments passed in \wp-content\plugins\Animation\animation.php on line 129, referer: <a href="http://localhost/Website/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=js" rel="nofollow">http://localhost/Website/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=js</a></p> <p>Same is the case with implode(). Server error log shows same above warning for implode().</p> <p>Then I tried for json_encode using the code below:</p> <pre><code>var lat = &lt;?php echo json_encode($php1); ?&gt;; </code></pre> <p>But the no value is returned.</p> <p>Edit: Code I used for JSON:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php /* Plugin Name: PHPToJavascript */ $arr = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9); //array to pass add_action('admin_menu','admin_jav'); function admin_jav(){ add_submenu_page('options-general.php','Javarray','Javarray','manage_options','javarray',jav_handler); } function jav_handler(){ echo 'Into handler'; ?&gt; &lt;SCRIPT LANGUAGE = 'Javascript'&gt;&lt;!-- var sm=&lt;?php echo json_encode($arr); ?&gt;; //using Json document.write(sm[1]); //doesnt display any output!!! &lt;/SCRIPT&gt; &lt;?php } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Please guide me through this. I appreciate any help. It would be great if you help me in passing this PHP array to javascript array.</p>
