Question

javascript help: i have a php page that echos

[‘A’, 28.006660938911], [‘B’, 71.993339061089]

now i need this converted into an array in javascript, but in ajax,
“var myData = new Array($http.responseText);”
does not work

Answer 1

If given string is:

var s = "['A', 28.006660938911], ['B', 71.993339061089]";

1. try evaluating it (if you have no access to the PHP code you are
   using):

   var array = eval("[" + s + "]");
   

2. try changing the response to JSON format (if you HAVE access to
   that PHP code):

   echo json_encode(array(array('A', 28.006660938911), array('B', 71.993339061089)));
   

3. if i am wrong and you are given with two different arrays, try
   splitting the string first
