Change output to variable

[oriecat]

Hi, I hope I am putting this question in the right place, I am not entirely sure where it needs to be... I am working on a project, where I want to pull various emails from the database, display them on a page, then be able to click something to email all of them. I have two parts working, but I need to connect them. I have the database and I am able to query it and output what I need. It is currently outputting as email links, using this:

if ($myrow = @mysql_fetch_array($result))
{echo "<UL>";}
do
{
echo "<LI>";
echo "<A HREF=mailto:\"",$myrow["email"],"\">",$myrow["Name"];
echo "</A>"; "<BR>";
} while ($myrow = @mysql_fetch_array($result)); 

What I really need is for that information to instead end up like this, inside the javascript code:

//Set name and email for each employee:
var employee=[];
employee[0]=['Name 1', 'email1'];
employee[1]=['Name 2', 'email2'];
employee[2]=['Name 3', 'email3']; 

Is this possible? I am a complete moron at this stuff, I can't believe I've even gotten it to work this far. Thanks

This really belongs in the PHP forum but you might get some help here. In any case, you are almost home, you just need to write out a script and an array before the script that will use the array. My PHP is not good, something like:

if ($myrow = @mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>"; 
do 
{ 
echo "var employee=[];"; 
echo "employee[employee.length]=['",$myrow["Name"],"', '",$myrow["email"],"']"; 
} while ($myrow = @mysql_fetch_array($result));
echo "</script>";
} 

But, the PHP forum folks would be better at the correct syntax.
