将php POST数组分配给Javascript数组

Question

I know this may sound similar to some past Q/As, I think mine is slightly different though.. I have a webpage which I want to dynamically load text file information. I upload the text file through an iframe and I want to save this information from php to Javascript. Whenever I try to save this as a regular variable it doesn't work so I have tried to do this by saving this information as a part of the $_POST array under a hidden form named $_POST['hidden_form']. Whenever I try to read the php into Javascript, I keep getting an error "Unexpected token ILLEGAL." I have tried the following two codes:

for($i=0;$i< count($_POST['hidden_form']) ;$i++)
{
  echo "saved_form[$i]='" . $_POST['hidden_form'][$i]. "';
";
}

and saved_form = <?php echo json_encode($_POST['hidden_form']); ?>;

Assigning a php array into a javascript array

I think the error has to do with the " ' " needed to specify the array but not sure. I have no idea where to go from here so any help would be GREATLY appreciated. If there are better methods to do this please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

saved_form = '<?php echo addslashes(json_encode($_POST['hidden_form'])); ?>';

Or

for($i=0;$i< count($_POST['hidden_form']) ;$i++)
{
  echo "saved_form[$i]='" . addslashes($_POST['hidden_form'][$i]) . "';
";
}

Both should work, probably had quotes breaking something?
