Question

I tried to use the gantview jquery plugin
(https://github.com/thegrubbsian/jquery.ganttView)

So the needed data is like:

    {
        id: 1, name: "Feature 1", series: [
            { name: "Planned", start: new Date(2010,00,01), end: new Date(2010,00,03) },
            { name: "Actual", start: new Date(2010,00,02), end: new Date(2010,00,05), color: "#f0f0f0" }
        ]
    }, 
    {
        id: 2, name: "Feature 2", series: [
            { name: "Planned", start: new Date(2010,00,05), end: new Date(2010,00,20) },
            { name: "Actual", start: new Date(2010,00,06), end: new Date(2010,00,17), color: "#f0f0f0" },
            { name: "Projected", start: new Date(2010,00,06), end: new Date(2010,00,17), color: "#e0e0e0" }
        ]
    }, 
    {
        id: 3, name: "Feature 3", series: [
            { name: "Planned", start: new Date(2010,00,11), end: new Date(2010,01,03) },
            { name: "Actual", start: new Date(2010,00,15), end: new Date(2010,01,03), color: "#f0f0f0" }
        ]
    }, 
    {
        id: 4, name: "Feature 4", series: [
            { name: "Planned", start: new Date(2010,01,01), end: new Date(2010,01,03) },
            { name: "Actual", start: new Date(2010,01,01), end: new Date(2010,01,05), color: "#f0f0f0" }
        ]
    }

Ok I think its JSON 🙂 So I built it in php, my funcs output is:

SERIES DATA
Array
(
    [name] => Krank
    [start] => 1317420000
    [end] => 1320102000
)
DATA
Array
(
    [id] => 1
    [name] => 15
    [series] => Array
        (
            [name] => Krank
            [start] => 1317420000
            [end] => 1320102000
        )

)
JSON
{"id":1,"name":15,"series":{"name":"Krank","start":1317420000,"end":1320102000}}

Of course I submit only the json part to the plugin 😉

I built an array and encode it to json.

So with this data the plugin doesn’t work. I have no idea how to rebuild this data with php.

some hints? 😉
