Question

I am using jquery autocomplete and trying to define the values for the auto complete options.

I am trying to create a javascript variable from a php array.
So far i have:

<?php
$usernames = get_records_sql("SELECT firstname,lastname FROM {$CFG->prefix}user ORDER BY lastname DESC");    
?>

<script language="javascript">
var names = ['<?php echo $usernames; ?>'];
</script>

I just need to convert the array to this format

var names= ["firstname lastname", "firstname lastname", "firstname lastname"];

Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

var names = [<?php 
    $tmp = Array();
    foreach($usernames as $row) $tmp[] = '"'.$row->firstname.' '.$row->lastname.'"'; 
    echo join(',', $tmp);
?>];
