php array in javascript function

[Obscurr]

i've got an array created in php that I want to send over to a javascript function.

onclick = "return sjekk(<?echo $names; ?> )"

in my "sjekk" function, when I try to print an alert :

function sjekk(navn)
{
alert(navn); // or alert(navn[0])
return(false);
}

I get "function Array { [native code]}"

How do I print out the names I want?

Give your function a string created from your array instead:
<?
$name_string = implode( ',', $names);
?>
onclick = "return sjekk(<?echo $name_string; ?> )"

try:

onclick = "return sjekk('<? echo $names; ?>')"

that is with a space between the <? and echo
and
with '' around your string.
In general: Look into your HTML produced by your PHP to find out why
Javascript has trouble with it.
Keep in mind your browser hasn't got a clue what process produced the HTML
in the first place.
Perl/PHP/C/ASP/Servlets etc.etc. it doesn't matter, only the output send to
the browser matters.
So always check that first.
