Question

I have an array in php, with print_r it looks like this

Array ( 
    [0] => Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => 3 [2] => 3 [3] => 1 [4] => 1 [5] => 4 [6] => 1 ) 
    [1] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 2 [3] => 1 [4] => 1 [5] => 1 [6] => 1 ) 
) 

when I do json_encode($mydata) it looks like this

[["2","3","3","1","1","4","1"],["1","2","2","1","1","1","1"]]

but I need this without the quotes, as the next processing simply needs a dataset like this:

var dataset = [ 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 ];

the dataset was never intended to use json standards, I simply need to get my array formatted correctly.

so the question is either “how do I remove quotes from json” which is simply nonstandard invalid json and won’t get me the responses I’d need

OR

“how do I format this php array to be like the dataset”.

it either involves a different kind of print function in php, or it involves some forloop regex in javascript

Ehhh you could try this:

$d = array();
foreach($myData as $data) {
    $d[] = "[" . implode(",", $data) . "]";
}
echo "[" . implode(",", $d) . "]";

Although echoing out json_encode($myData); worked as well: http://codepad.org/KTfQHz6s
