Question

I have an Array like below in PHP

array(
    (int) 0 => array(
        'id' => '1',
        'name' => 'Mink7',
        'about' => 'Creative Design agency',
        'logo' => null,
        'lat' => '13.004870000000',
        'lng' => '77.576686084656'
    ),
    (int) 1 => array(
        'id' => '2',
        'name' => 'Bakasura',
        'about' => 'Live 2 Eat',
        'logo' => null,
        'lat' => '13.005643569006',
        'lng' => '77.577485382942'
    )
)

What have i done.
I load the Function in the Header and have written the following in the body tag.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
        var startups = <?php echo json_encode($startups); ?>;
        $.each(startups, function(key, val) {
            markMe(val.lat, val.lng, val.name, val.description, val.logo);
        });
});
</script>

I am getting the following error

markMe is not defined

markMe(val.lat, val.lng, val.name, val.description, val.logo);

Javascript File that is attached to HEAD.

$(document).ready(function () {
    var map = new GMaps({
        div: '#map',

        zoom: 13,
    });

                });
            }
        }
    });

    map.addMarker({
        lat: 13.00487,
        lng: 77.576729,
        title: 'Lima',

        infoWindow: {
          content: '<p>HTML Content</p>'
        }
    });

    function markMe(lat, lng, name, description, logo){
        map.addMarker({
            lat: lat,
            lng: lng,
            title: name,

            infoWindow: {
              content: description
            }
        });
    }

});

Answer 1

look for json_encode in PHP, and use JSON.parse in JavaScript (or a library like jQuery.parseJSON if you need broad browser support)

— after update

instead of
function markMe(lat, lng, name, description, logo){

do:
markMe = function (lat, lng, name, description, logo){

that’s because a function declared in a function is not availlable outside that function
