I am trying to write a auto complete, which the auto complete items load one time when the PHP page loads. With the items that are fetched from mysql DB , i have create a json array like this
<?php
$bnkArray = array();
$sql_bnk = mysql_query("SELECT BName, BCode, ID  FROM bank");
while($rBnk = mysql_fetch_array($sql_bnk)){
    $bnkDet = array(
        'label' => $rBnk['BName'],
        'value' => $rBnk['BName'],
        'otherDetails' => $rBnk['BName'].'||'. $rBnk['BCode'].'||'. $rBnk['ID'] 
    );  
    array_push($bnkArray, $bnkDet);
}
?>
i need this array as like this javascript array
<script>
var bankSource11 = [
      {
        value: "jquery",
        label: "jQuery",
        otherDetails: "the write less, do more, JavaScript library",
      },
      {
        value: "jquery-ui",
        label: "jQuery UI",
        otherDetails: "the official user interface library for jQuery",
      },
      {
        value: "sizzlejs",
        label: "Sizzle JS",
        otherDetails: "a pure-JavaScript CSS selector engine",
      }
    ];
</script>
if i call this array like this in my auto complete this is not working
var bankSource = [<?php echo  $bnkArray; ?>];
what is this array type.. how to do this.
this is the autocomplete part
$(this).autocomplete({
            minLength: 0,
            source: bankSource,
            focus: function( event, ui ) {
                $(this).val( ui.item.label );
                return false;
            },
            select: function( event, ui ) {
                console.log(ui.item.value +' ____ ' + ui.item.otherDetails);
                $( "#project" ).val( ui.item.label );
                $( "#project-id" ).val( ui.item.value );
                $( "#project-description" ).html( ui.item.otherDetails );
                return false;
              }
            })
        }
                Please replace
var bankSource = [<?php echo  $bnkArray; ?>];
with
var bankSource = <?php echo json_encode($bnkArray); ?>;
                        Here is a sample example which i modified accroding to your requirement. Kindly study it and let me know if you have any question.
 <?php
    $bnkArray = array();
    $sql_bnk = mysql_query("SELECT BName, BCode, ID  FROM bank");
    while($rBnk = mysql_fetch_array($sql_bnk)){
        $bnkDet = array(
            'label' => $rBnk['BName'],
            'value' => $rBnk['BName'],
            'otherDetails' => $rBnk['BName'].'||'. $rBnk['BCode'].'||'. $rBnk['ID'] 
        );  
        array_push($bnkArray, $bnkDet);
    }
    ?>

          source: bankSource11  
        });
      });
      </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <div class="ui-widget">
      <input id="My_Input">
    </div>
                        change this line like this,
var bankSource = [<?php echo  $bnkArray; ?>];
to
var bankSource = "<?php echo  json_encode($bnkArray); ?>";
