Passing data from php to Jquery

Question

I have all my javascript/jquery code in a file and include it into my page. Without having apache process js files as php what would be the best way to pass data from php to

Answer 1

HTML

json_encode should be already in PHP 5.2. Otherwise look here http://www.json.org/

JS

var master = JSON.parse( $('pagedata').html() );
// master.data1; // single
// master.data2[0]; // 2a
// master.data2[1]; // 2b

To use JSON.parse you'll need json2.js from here https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js.
