Convert php array to Javascript
(21 answers)
Closed 9 months ago.
I am having a csv file with 1 email id in each line. I want to add comma after each email id. I want to add a comma to the end of each line using php. How can i do this? Is there a particular function for that?
UPDATE
I want this so that I can construct an array out of it in javascript.
I will be loading the csv file using php and then printing it in my js.
Like
var myCars=[<?php print $csv; ?>];
So that I acheive something like this.
var myCars=["Saab#gmail.com","Volvo#gmail.com","BMW#gmail.com"];
Or is there a better way to do this?
$lines = file('file.csv');
foreach ( $lines as & $line ) {
$line .= ',';
}
file_put_contents('file.new.csv', implode(PHP_EOL, $lines));
something like that should do,
cheers
<?php
$lines = file('org.csv');
foreach ( $lines as & $line ) {
$line = trim( $line ) . ',';
}
file_put_contents('new.csv', implode(PHP_EOL, $lines));
Why not use the csv-specific functions?
$old = fopen('file.csv','r');
$new = fopen('new.csv','w+');
while($line = fgetcsv($old))
{
fputcsv($new,$line);
}
fclose($old);
fclose($new);
The above code will write a new csv, line per line, but if you just want to generate a javascript array, why not do this:
$file = fopen ('file.csv','r');
$all = array();
while($line = fgetcsv($file))
{
$all[] = $line[0];//if there is only 1 field/line
$all = array_merge($all,$line);//if multiple
}
fclose($file);
$js_array = '["'.implode('",',$all).'"];';
//or, the way I'd advise against, but good for multi-dimensional, assoc arrays
echo 'var array = JSON.parse("'.json_encode($all).'");';
why not just
$csv = str_replace("\n", ",\n", $csv);
Instead of echoing an entire csv string, you can import the file to an array using the fgetcsv function, then echo it out using json_encode(). That way you're sure to get a valid javascript array. It will also quote and encode any strings for you.
Oh, remember to run the array through some iterator which will run utf8_encode on all strings. If you have invalid utf8 characters, json_encode will barf.
There are plenty of examples on php.net of doing the different parts of this, but I can provide some examples if needed.

I generate some JS objects strings in PHP because all of the variables i need are there, instead of passing them to js and generate the object there:
$results[] = "{value:" . $data . ",color:\"rgba($aa,$ab,$ac," . Config::$TRANSPARENCY_B . ")\",highlight:\"rgba($ba,$bb,$bc," . Config::$TRANSPARENCY_B . ")\",label:\"" . $entry->getDate() . "\"}";
Now i want to pass the finished result list of JS object strings to JS in order to display it. The resulting structure should be like: [{object1}, {object2}, ...]
In order to achieve this i use htmlspecialchars(json_encode($result), ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8")
However this ends up in something of the structure: {"{object1}", "{object2}", ...], which of course won't work. How can i manage to throw away the useless enclosing "? I had a look through json_encode() and htmlspecialchars() but none of the parameters there seems to fit.
Any ideas? Thanks!
EDIT: Turns out i am completely dumb. Of course i should pack up some real objets and not a string representing them.. THANKS!
Why not just create real objects, that way encoding them as JSON is easy
$obj = new stdClass;
$obj->value = $data;
$obj->label = $entry->getDate();
$results[] = $obj;
echo json_encode($results);
Associative arrays would also be outputted as "objects" in JSON, and is probably easier
You would be better off not manually making JSON out of strings and use the json_encode function to do it for you:
$results[] = array(
'value' => $data,
'color' => "rgba($aa,$ab,$ac," . Config::$TRANSPARENCY_B . ")",
'highlight' => "rgba($ba,$bb,$bc," . Config::$TRANSPARENCY_B . ")",
'label' => $entry->getData()
);
echo json_encode($results);
I have the following PHP code. It creates multiple variables using $a; for example: $numtoken1.
$sql ="SELECT token, dispositivo FROM dispositivos WHERE idcliente=1";
mysql_select_db('localiza');
$retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($retval);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($retval, MYSQL_BOTH))
{
$numtoken['$a']=$row['token'];
$numdispositivo['$a']=$row['dispositivo'];
$a=$a++;
}
Using JavaScript, I want to call all the PHP variables using that code, but it only get the last $a number.
My question is: In a JavaScript loop, how can I dynamically insert the value for $a? Because in the above PHP, I have multiple values for $a.
var accessToken = "<?= $numtoken['$a']; ?>"a;
var deviceID = "<?= $numdispositivo['$a']; ?>";
I suggest JSON:
var accesstoken = JSON.parse("<?= json_encode($numtoken); ?>");
var deviceID = JSON.parse("<?= json_encode($numdispositivo); ?>");
So the first thing I noticed when looking at this is that you are wrapping $a in single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") this means that instead of evaluating $a the key in the array will be the string "$a", so you'll be overwriting the value in each iteration of the while loop. See - http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.parsing for more info.
That being said the actual answer to your question varies, but the simplest method might be to use the json_encode function to convert your arrays into json objects.
var accessTokenArr = <?php print json_encode($numtoken); ?>
var deviceIdArr = <?php print json_encode($numdispositivo); ?>
Then you can iterate over the values in those arrays and do whatever you want to with the values. Fair warning - you may need to tweak that code a little as I haven't tested it to make sure it plays nicely.
I am trying to create a Javascript function that echoes out a Wordpress function called the_title() which just returns the title of the a blog. Through PHP it echoes out fine but when I do it through Javscript, however, quotes seem to be unescaped (specifically single quotes). Any help or explanation why this is happening?
THE CODE:
function createSliderTabs() {
var para = document.createElement("li");
var strings = "<?php the_title(); ?>";
var post_string = strings.replace(/"/g, "").replace(/'/g, "").replace(/\(|\)/g, "");
var node = document.createTextNode(post_string);
para.appendChild(node);
var element = document.getElementById("control-navigation");
element.appendChild(para);
}
createSliderTabs();
THE RESULT:
Macy’ ;s Herald Square (had to include space or it would've changed to single quote)
WHAT IT SHOULD BE:
Macy's Herald Square
Any help or guidance on why this is happening? Thx in advance...
From php to js transformation you always have to use json_encode().
to avoid xss
to describe unicode characters
You can use html_entity_decode:
I'm not really familiar with wordpress, but I suppose you would use it inside the_title():
function the_title()
{
$str = 'Macy’s Herald Square';
echo html_entity_decode ($str, ENT_COMPAT , "UTF-8");
}
If you need to use json_encode() you should be able to do
$json = html_entity_decode(json_encode($array), ENT_COMPAT , "UTF-8");
EDIT: added ENT_COMPAT , "UTF-8"
I'm trying to return use a JSON object with handlebars. Making a small todo list to learn how to use it.
My PHP API is as follows :
$query = "SELECT *
FROM table";
try
{
$db = getConnection();
$response = $db->query($query);
$todo = $response->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
$bdd = null;
echo json_encode($todo);
}
It then returns something like :
[{"id":"1","todo":"Do something","who":"Me","is_done":"0"},{"id":"2","todo":"Learn JSON","who":"Me","is_done":"0"}]
But I'd actually need it to be like this :
{todos: [{"id":"1","todo":"Do something","who":"Me","is_done":"0"},{"id":"2","todo":"Learn JSON","who":"Me","is_done":"0"}]}
I tried in my PHP API to add instead of echo json_encode($todo)
echo '{todos: ' . json_encode($todo) . '}';
But it doesn't work. Any ideas ?
Your "todos" property name must be quoted with double-quote characters.
echo '{"todos": ' . json_encode($todo) . '}';
Though JavaScript syntax allows for property names without quotes, strict JSON insists on them.
While Pointy's answer is correct (might want to read about JSON), alternatively you could do this:
echo json_encode(array('todos' => $todo));
PHP associative arrays will be serialized to JSON as objects (json_encode() example in Manual).
Try with :
echo '{ "todos" : ' . json_encode($todo) . '}';
Try this:
echo json_encode(array( 'todos' => $todo ));
Instead of making the JSON yourself, make the structure you want, then have PHP make the JSON for you.
i want to acheive this :
for (i = <?php echo $current_i ?> /*then I get augmented in javascript */;i<max;i++){
$('#anyid****')./* my actions goes here */
}
here i want to put the counter I of the javascript in the selector
how could i do that ???
Sorry i don't know PHP but i hope you wanted to do something like below
for (i = <?php echo $current_i ?> ;i<max;i++){
$('#div'+i)/*do the rest*/
}
the + is for concatenation, i hope it is same in PHP. Also you could cast i to string.
Just for OP's understanding
in line 2 $('#div'+i) i is a integer type and others $(#div) are of type string. For jquery needs a string selector to retrieve a matching dom node and for that i needs to also be casted/converted to a string variable so that it could concatenate/add/attach with the prefix string which is in this example #div. in c# you add 2 strings like this var result = "#div" + i.ToString(); and i did not know PHP equivalent for + in c#,hence a sorry at the start of post. Now do you understand?
for (i = <?php echo $current_i ?> /*then I get augmented in javascript */;i<max;i++){
$('#anyid' + i)./* my actions goes here */
}
you can just concatenate it to the string of your selector.
That's not very "jQuery-ish". Assuming the elements have IDs with a continuing part and are in order, you can give every element a common class and use slice [docs] and each [docs]:
$('.commonClass').slice(<?php echo $current_i ?>, max + 1).each(...
You could provide better solutions if you explain more about your problem. E.g. giving each element an increasing ID does not seem to be a deliberate solution.
P.S.: I wouldn't put the PHP variable there either, maybe assign the value to a JavaScript variable first.
it would be a lot cleaner if you split up the php and javascript like this.
js_var.php
<?php
$phpvars = array(
'max' => 12,
'fop' => 22
);
function phpvar($key = NULL){
global $phpvars;
return ($key)
? json_encode($phpvars[$key])
: json_encode($phpvars);
}
?>
usage
<?php include('phpvars.php');?>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.phpvars = <?=phpvar()?>;
var max = phpvars.max;
for (var i=0;i<max;i++){
console.log(i);
}
console.log(php);
</script>
