Best way to transfer an array between PHP and Javascript [duplicate]

I tend to use a JSON object for this:

  • On the server side, JSON encode your data: json_encode($data);
  • On the JavaScript side, I write a function that takes a JSON object as a parameter and unpack it.

When you unpack the object, you can print the array’s contents into a <DIV> tag, or where ever you would like on the page (jQuery does a pretty sweet job of this).
