I need to display the values of an SQL table in a D3 map for each US state. Below is code excerpts from my file.php
:
Here is the SQL query:
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(State) FROM `mytable`";
$sql_result= mysqli_query($cnx,$sql) or die('Could not execute' . mysqli_error()) ;
Here is how I pass the result into an array
<? while($myvar=mysqli_fetch_array($sql_result)) { **need to add both php and javascript below..** }
<?php $js_array = json_encode($myvar['0']);?>
Here is where I need to pass the data:
.forEach(function(d){
var kpi01=<?php echo "var nbcustomers = ". $js_array . ";
";?>, // No of customers in that state
kpi02= .....
sampleData[d]={kpi01, kpi02};
});
Can anyone help me with suggestions to properly insert the JavaScript code after the while
loop within the .forEach
?
Don't mess around with trying to generate a bunch of variables with numbers in their names.
Just construct the data structure you need (an array of your SQL query results) in PHP, then use json_encode
to convert it to JavaScript.
<?php
$my_array = [];
while($myvar=mysqli_fetch_array($sql_result)) {
$my_array[] = $myvar;
}
$js_array = json_encode($my_array);
?>
<script>
var javascript_array = <?php echo $js_array; ?>;
</script>
