Question

var stds = [];
<?php
  foreach ($this->students as $key => $value){
?>
    var smval = "<?php echo $value?>";
    stds.push( smval );
<?php
}
?>
alert("stds"+stds);

alert(“stds”+stds);//print abc,bcd,efg so on…

The above code works fine for pushing Student Names.
Now I want to push student CODES also which is there in value $key.
How can i create an associative array to do that

Answer 1

The cleanest and safest way to do this is to convert the PHP object into a JavaScript object literal with json_encode:

var students = <?= json_encode($this->students) ?>;

// sample usage
alert (students["Tony"]);   // Tony's student code
alert (students["Geezer"]); // Geezer's student code
alert (students["Vinnie"]); // etc.
