Is it possible to transfer variables, or at least the information stored in them, to variables in other languages. How can I easily get the values in a PHP array into a Javascript array?

I you take a look around the internet, there is a class available in PHP which will write Java serialized variables (and arrays).

Actually the serialize() and unserialize() functions is PHP work very much as they do in Java (though I am not sure they have the same name), just the format used to store information about the variable and/or array is slightly different...

Also, if you take a look for these functions on the PHP website (www.php.net) I think you will also find a small bit of information and probably code snippets to do this for you.

Javascript is a client-side language lol. So all you'll need to do is output JScript to fill the array.

(Toggle Plain Text)

<script type="text/javascript">
var jsArr = array(
<?php
  foreach($phpArr as $col => $val)
    echo "   \"{$col}\" => \"{$val}\"\n";
?>
};
</script>

That converts $phpArr[PHP] to jsArr[Javascript].
