I am trying to pass some value from a PHP array into JavaScript.
My php variable $contacts_info
has the followiing values.
Array ( [0] => Array ( [contact_id] => 20 [type_id] => 2 [contact_type] => Representative Phone [contact_value] => 0987654321 ) [1] => Array ( [contact_id] => 21 [type_id] => 4 [contact_type] => Shop Address [contact_value] => 0987654321 ) [2] => Array ( [contact_id] => 22 [type_id] => 3 [contact_type] => Emergency Phone [contact_value] => 0987654321 ) [3] => Array ( [contact_id] => 23 [type_id] => 2 [contact_type] => Representative Phone [contact_value] => 0987654321 ) [4] => Array ( [contact_id] => 24 [type_id] => 3 [contact_type] => Emergency Phone [contact_value] => 0987654321 ) [5] => Array ( [contact_id] => 25 [type_id] => 4 [contact_type] => Shop Address [contact_value] => 0987654321 ) ) 1
I am trying to assign a specific value in some Combobox with a for loop using JavaScript. But I am having a problem doing so.
Type: ParseError Message: syntax error, unexpected '<', expecting ']'
My JavaScript code:
<script> var total_counter = "<?php echo $total_contact; ?>"; var contact_info = "<?php json_encode($contacts_info); ?>"; for (var i = 0; i <= total_counter - 1; i++) { let element = document.getElementById("contact_type_id_" + i); element.value = "<?php echo $contacts_info[<script>document.writeln(i);</script>]['type_id'] ?>"; } </script>
The problem is in this part <?php echo $contacts_info[<script>document.writeln(i);</script>]['type_id'] ?>
. Can anyone please help me with it.
Thank you.

Answer
Please do as follows,
You need to remove double quotes that enclose the PHP script, as
""
treats it a string.<?php echo json_encode($contacts_info); ?>
was missingecho
as JSON array wasn’t getting echoed such that it can be assigned to the javascript variablecontact_info
The variable
contact_info
already have your JSON array, no need to again get it from PHP variable,
Eventually your code should look like,
<script> var total_counter = <?php echo $total_contact; ?>; var contact_info = <?php echo json_encode($contacts_info); ?>; for (var i = 0; i <= total_counter - 1; i++) { let element = document.getElementById("contact_type_id_" + i); element.value = contact_info[i].type_id ; } </script>
