is there any way to export data from php to javascript and using ajax to grab it

[darksniperx]

I was thinking of json, but the server what i am trying to do it is running php 5.1.6, but json_encode needs 5.2.0.

 

i wonder if there is anything that i could do, to use one of the following: print_r(), var_dump(), var_export() or anything else, to dump the information on the screen, then grab with ajax and save it as a javascript array.

 

thx.

You can just send the data back as a string with each field delimitered by some value | is nice. Or, heaven forbid use xml (hence the X in Ajax).
