Convert array from php to javascript?

Question

How do i take a php array

$arr = (('date'=>'03-22-2012', 'count'=>1000 ), ('date'=>'03-23-2011', 'count'=>1170 ));

and convert it to:

var arr = [['03-22-2012', 1000], ['03-23-2011', 1170]]

usable by a javascript function?

is there an easy way to do this?

that is pretty easy to convert ... do you want to use it via AJAX ?? or you just want to convert PHP array to comparable JavaScript array — Baba, Mar 22 '12 at 20:37

Only your php array definition looks a bit strange :)

i actually need it in the exact format I posted so not in json format no keys no curly braces ...is there an easy way to get this? Thanks!! – algorithmicCoder Mar 22 '12 at 21:48
It just means you need to transform your php array before `json_encode`ing it. – zzzzBov Mar 23 '12 at 01:27

$arr = array(
    array('03-22-2012', 1000 ),
    array('03-23-2011', 1170 )
);

echo "var = ".json_encode($arr).";";

Output

var = [["03-22-2012",1000],["03-23-2011",1170]];
