Often this is done using an Ajax call to your PHP app, and have PHP generate JSON with the data being sent for processing (see json_encode()).
I've also seen PHP programs generate the JavaScript with the data encoded directly in the script, but I would not recommend this approach.

When echoing the javascript in the view, you can use echo json_encode($array) to convert the PHP array to JSON which can then be inserted into a javascript variable.

1@Alnitak Ah, another web host in the dark ages. There's a pure PHP version too https://github.com/stetsenko/code/blob/master/json_encode.php – Ian Gregory May 20 '12 at 16:32

But sir, how do I maintain the propoerties of the objects I have passed using json_encode? I have tried doing json_enode but the new array cannot access the properties of the object i just passed.. – wawaragna May 20 '12 at 17:45
