Question

I’m trying to assign a php array of image filenames to a javascript array. Here’s what I got so far:

<script src="jq.js"></script>

<?php
$dir  = 'images';
$images = scandir($dir);
$true_images = array();
foreach($images as $k=>$v){
    if(is_file('images/'.$v)){
        $true_images[] = $v;
    }
}

?>
<script>
$(function(){
        var image_array = Array(<?php echo implode(',', $true_images); ?>);
        alert(image_array);
});
</script>

But I get the following error in firebug:
identifier starts immediately after numeric literal

Please help, thanks in advance

Answer 1

You must input your string array into “” or ”
try this

var image_array = ["<?php echo implode('","', $true_images); ?>"]
