Question

I use jQuery’s $.post to get data from php[from mysql] file data, what we get looks like that:

data = [['12-25-2012',62],['12-26-2012',60]]

when I assign this to variable it stores as string as this:

v1 = "[['12-25-2012',62],['12-26-2012',60]]"; [v1 = data]

but I require it to like this:

v2 = [['12-25-2012',62],['12-26-2012',60]];

not as a string.

To be more clarifying, you can understand by alert v1 & v2

when you alert v2 you get 12-25-2012,62,12-26-2012,60
when you alert v1 you get [['12-25-2012',62],['12-26-2012',60]]

there’s difference, and I want v1 to look like v2.

Answer 1

Maybe you can try this, though not sure whethe it would work:

v1=eval(data);

Please note that eval() is evil. Also I would strongly suggest, that you alter the php code to send it in some other format and then you could append these to a javascript array.
