I'm trying to convert a PHP multidimensional array to a javascript array using the JSON encoder. When I do a var_dump, my php array looks like this:

array (size=2)

  'Key' => string 'a' (length=1)

  'Value' => string 'asite.com' (length=9)

This is the code I'm currently using in my view to try to convert it to a JavaScript array:

var tempArray = $.parseJSON(<?php echo json_encode($php_array); ?>);

Whenever I run this code in the browser, the output of the conversion in the console is this:

var tempArray = $.parseJSON([{Key:a,Value:asite.com}]);

Is this the correct structure for a javascript multidimensional array? I'm asking because it keeps giving me this error on the line above:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token o

You do not have to call parseJSON since the output of json_decode is a javascript literal. Just assign it to a variable.

var tempArray = <?php echo json_encode($php_array); ?>;

You should be able then to access the properties as

alert(tempArray[0].Key);
