php json array data in javascript

Solution:

Firstly, the Javascriptalert() function is pretty basic; it can only deal with string input. If you give it an object or an array, it will choke. You're giving it objects, so it is showing you that fact in the best way it can.

If you really want to see what thedata variable contains, I recommend using the browser's debugging tools rather thanalert(). All modern browsers have aconsole.log() function, which outputs your debug data to the debugging console rather than an alert box. This will give you much more useful info. Press F12 to get the debugging panel in any browser.

But my guess is that you aren't intending to output an arry ofSPLFileInfo objects. It looks like you're probably intending to send an array of filenames.

The iterators you're using for the loop produce anSPLFileInfo object, not simply the filename.

To get just the filename, you would use thegetFilename() method, like so:

foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('/var/www/scripts')) as $fileinfo)
{
    array_push($arr,$fileinfo->getFilename());
}
Copy code

This will now generate an array of filenames, which I think is what you want.
