从Javascript中的多维PHP数组获取值

Question

Here's my situation:

I have a MYSQL database with 2 fields: 'ID' and 'string' . The 'string' field stores strings in form of serialized arrays. So, to extract it back, I use this PHP code:

$rez=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM drawings") or die(mysql_error());

$array=array();

while($row=mysql_fetch_array($rez))
{
    $array[]=unserialize($row['string']);
}

Now my $array variable should contain an array of arrays, right? Assuming I did that correctly, I then echo $array; so my ajax call catches it inside the return_data, like this:

var return_data = hr.responseText;

Just to test if I can extract a value, I then tried implementing the following code, but it doesn't seem to work:

var arr = return_data.split(",");
var sub_arr = arr[0].split(",");
alert(sub_arr[0]);

What am I doing wrong?

Additional info:

I am basically storing a bunch of coordinates inside the MYSQL database, each row being a separate array of coordinates, for example (12,13,14,16,17,20) - these would be 3 "points" contained in one row.

Then I'm using an ajax call to extract all the records from the database in a form of array, which contains arrays of multiple numbers (I know that each 2 neighboring numbers make up one point).

EDIT:

The chrome javascript console outputs:

Error in event handler for 'undefined': Cannot read property 'disable_serps_pos_numbers' of undefined TypeError: Cannot read property 'disable_serps_pos_numbers' of undefined at BasePlugin.GooglePlugin.getSomeCorePrefs (chrome-extension://akdgnmcogleenhbclghghlkkdndkjdjc/content_scripts/google.js:129:48) at chrome-extension://akdgnmcogleenhbclghghlkkdndkjdjc/lib/lib.js:44:25 at miscellaneous_bindings:287:9 at Event.dispatchToListener (event_bindings:356:21) at Event.dispatch_ (event_bindings:342:27) at Event.dispatch (event_bindings:362:17) at Object.chromeHidden.Port.dispatchOnMessage (miscellaneous_bindings:253:22)

Answer 1

while($row=mysql_fetch_array($rez))
{
    $array[]=unserialize($row['string']);
}

echo json_encode($array);

Then in the Javascript code (assuming jQuery):

$.parseJSON(return_data)

Then you can use it like a 2D array in Javascript.

Answer 2

Use the standard functions that come with jQuery and PHP to convert arrays into JSON data and back to array.

Like json_encode() and json_decode() in PHP

and JS: Parse JSON in JavaScript?

Answer 3

First, I strongly recommend you switch to using PDO for SQL queries, but to answer your question you said that you are doing:

echo $array;

Which will result in an error Array to String Conversion.

I recommend using doing echo json_encode($array); which will convert the array to a json object.
