[SOLVED] sorting an array and print out a JS array

[albertdumb]

Hi All.

 

I have this array like so....

 

Array

(

    [ABZ] => Array

        (

            [0] => AGP

        )

 

    [ACE] => Array

        (

            [0] => BHX

            [1] => LGW

            [2] => LTN

            [3] => MAN

        )

)

 

Now i want to loop through this array to print out a javascript array in the format like >> g_routes['ACE'] = new Array('BHX','LGW','LTN','MAN');

 

I dont mind just using an echo or assign it a php variable.

 

Can anyone please help?

 

Cheers

Use foreach and str_replace

[albertdumb]

I am using a foreach and i got most it done except the last bit of the array: This is my code>>

 

foreach ($listSort as $value => $var){

print 'g_routes[\''.$value.'\']= new Array(\''.$var[0] .'\',\'LGW\');';

}

 

I am having problem with the new array as i need to loop trough to get the next level down but i am not sure how to do it. So this is what i have now:

 

g_routes['ABZ']= new Array(' STILL NEED TO GET','STILL NEED TO GET');

 

Any help?

I made something for you:

<?php
function makeJSArray($name, $array, $parent='') {
if (empty($parent))
	$r = "var $name = new Array();\n";
else
	$r = '';
foreach ($array as $i => $s) {
	if (!is_numeric($i))
		$i = "'$i'";
	if (is_array($s)) {
		$r .= "$name$parent"."[$i] = new Array();\n";
		$r .= makeJSArray($name, $s, $parent."[$i]");
	}else {
		if (!is_numeric($s))
			$s = '"'.str_replace("\n", '\\n', addslashes($s)).'"';
		$r .= "$name$parent"."[$i] = $s;\n";
	}
}
return $r;
}
?>

Use it like that:

<?php
   $a = array('test', 'blubb', 'hui' => array('yeah', 'hmm', 'foo' => 'bar', array('nana')));
   echo makeJSArray('myjsarray', $a);
?>

Thanks Lumio..

 

But the problem with that code is that the araay which is created has every key value iterated like so:

g_routes['ACE'][0] = "BHX";

g_routes['ACE'][1] = "LGW";

g_routes['ACE'][2] = "LTN";

g_routes['ACE'][3] = "MAN";

 

But i want it like:

 

g_routes['ACE'] = new Array('BHX','LGW','LTN','MAN');

 

i just dont know how to loop through the last dimension of the array and list it comma seperated, if you know what i mean.

Why can't you use it like my function?

[albertdumb]

I have worked it out and it wasnt as complicated as i thought. Found the implode function. Heres the code i use

 

foreach ($this->listSort as $value => $var){

		$spiltVar= implode("','",$var);

		print 'g_routes[\''.$value.'\']= new Array(\''.$spiltVar .'\');';

	}

 

Thanks very much for your help tho.
