i am creating javascript array during dom creation using arr.push. but on page ready function, it returns empty array
<script type="text/javascript">
var short_urls = [];
</script>
$(document).ready(function() {
console.log(short_urls);
});
<?
foreach ($d_json['result'] as $key => $value) {
?>
<script>
short_urls.push("<? echo $shorten_url ?>");
</script>
<?
}
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
var short_urls = [];
$(document).ready(function() {
console.log(short_urls);
});
</script>
<?
foreach ($d_json['result'] as $key => $value) {
?>
<script>
short_urls.push("<? echo $shorten_url ?>");
</script>
<?
}
?>
As PHP will be executed before any javascript you can write the javascript variables out without needing to use the array.push
method. However, the question used a php variable $shorten_url
- where is that defined? I assume it is the value from the foreach
loop
Approach #1
-----------
<script type="text/javascript">
var short_urls = [];
<?php
foreach( $d_json['result'] as $key => $value ) {
$shorten_url='???';
echo "short_urls.push('{$shorten_url}');";
}
?>
$( document).ready( function() { console.log( short_urls ); } );
</script>
Approach #2
-----------
<script type="text/javascript">
<?php
$tmp=array();
foreach( $d_json['result'] as $key => $value ) {
$shorten_url='???';
$tmp[]=$shorten_url;
}
echo "var short_urls = ['".implode("','",$tmp)."'];";
?>
$( document).ready( function() { console.log( short_urls ); } );
</script>
