PHP arrays into javascript arrays

Question

I am a bit confused here on how I implement an array into JS from PHP....

I\'m doing this for testing - eventually I\'ll use long polling or websockets if they get h

I agree with the answer in your comments. I would make an AJAX call to yourFile.php and then send back your JSON encoded response. so here would be my psuedo code.

1. Make AJAX request

$.ajax({
    url: "yourFile.php",
    dataType: 'json',
    success: function(data)
    {
         console.log(data);
    }
});

2. Make sure that your PHP file also returns header for JSON

header('Content-type: application/json');

2. Return {"x":"283","y":"99","sid":"1"} as data on your ajax request


3. call the values by using data.x or data.y or data.sid
