    text
    copied!<p>So i have a page called region.php, which in the header, loads JQuery, the google maps API, and the custom Jquery functions I use for my app in a file called functions.js.</p> <p>In region.php, I pull a few rows from the MySQL DB and store them in a php array, $regions.</p> <p>In my functions.js file, I'm trying to json_encode the $regions array, and pass it to my function, to plays all of the lats and longitudes of the $regions array on the google map. However, IM having trouble getting the Php array into Javascript. </p> <p>I had been following this but it doesnt seem to be working for me: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1205892/iterating-through-a-php-array-in-jquery">Iterating through a PHP array in jQuery?</a>. Doesn't seem like the javascript can work with the php in the example they give</p> <p>any ideas? (and I suppose if im going about this all wrong -- what is the best way to get the php array into javascript?</p> <p>Region.php $regions = get_regions(); </p> <pre><code>foreach($regions as $region) : print $region['name']; endforeach; print "&lt;div id='map_view_canvas' style=\"width:300px; height:300px; \"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"; </code></pre> <p>functions.js</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() { initialize_view_map(); } function initialize_view_map() { var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(9.3939, 20.57268); var myOptions = { zoom: 2, center: latlng, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }; var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_view_canvas"), myOptions); var mapPoints = &lt;?php echo json_encode($regions) ?&gt;; $.each(mapPoints, function (i, elem) { var newLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(elem.latitude, elem.longitude); var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: newLatLng, map: map, draggable:false, animation: google.maps.Animation.DROP }); }); } </code></pre>
