PHP array to JavaScript using jQuery AJAX

Question

I want to manipulate a PHParray in javascript. This is the code i'm using.

Array.php

<?php

$sentido[1]="ver";
$sentido[2]="tocar";
$sentido[3]="oir";
$sentido[4]="gustar";
$sentido[5]="oler"; 


?>

fx_funciones.js

 /*Pre-sentences*/
 var js_array=new Array();

$.ajax({        
       type: "POST",
       url: "array.php",
       success: function(response) {
           js_array=response      
       }
    });

This is what I want to do but it's not working.

Well, you're not doing anything with the array after you create it. Try adding `echo json_encode($sentido)` — DiMono, Mar 05 '13 at 15:26

Try this:

<?php

$sentido[1]="ver";
$sentido[2]="tocar";
$sentido[3]="oir";
$sentido[4]="gustar";
$sentido[5]="oler"; 

echo json_encode($sentido);

And:

$.getJSON('array.php', function(sentido) {
    console.log(sentido);
});

You'll need to return the array from your PHP code as JSON, using the json_encode function. Then, in your jQuery code, specify a json dataType so that it's implicitly converted and passed to the callback function as an array:

var js_array=new Array();

$.ajax({        
   type: "POST",
   url: "array.php",
   success: function(response) {
       js_array=response      
   },
   dataType: 'json'
});

Use the standard JSON notation. It serializes objects and arrays. Then print it, fetch it on the client and parse it.

On the server:

echo json_encode($sentido);

For more on PHP's json_encode: http://php.net/manual/de/function.json-encode.php

On the client, this is specially easy if you use the jQuery function for ajax that expect JSON-encoded objects, and parses them for you:

$.getJSON('address/to/your/php/file.php', function(sentidos) {

    alert(sentidos[0]);  // It will alert "ver"
    alert(sentidos[1]);  // It will alert "tocar"

});

It uses GET but this most probably what you need.
