You can use the json_encode function, to safely return a JSON object which you can use directly in JavaScript:

<?php

  $phpArray = array(foo, bar, baz);

  //....

?>



<script type=text/javascript>

var jsArray = <? echo json_encode($phpArray); ?>;

</script>

Outputs:

<script type=text/javascript>

var jsArray = [foo,bar,baz];

</script>
