How To Open File And Load Contents Into A Variable

[ktsirig]

Hi,

in my PHP webpage I specify 3 files, like:

$first_file = $_POST["one"];
$second_file = $_POST["two"];
$third_file = $_POST["three"];

then I have a JS fuction, that in some points, needs to open each file and store the data of each file into a variable. My questions are 2:
First, how do I save all data of each text file into a JS variable?
Second, the part of the Js function which has these variables looks like this:

              series:
                [
                    {
                        name: 'ONE',
                        color: 'blue',
                        data:
                        [
                                 HERE WE SHOULD PLACE ALL DATA FROM FILE 1                     
                        ]
                    },

                    {
                        name: 'TWO',
                        color: 'yellow',
                        data:
                        [
                                 HERE WE SHOULD PLACE ALL DATA FROM FILE 2                     
                        ]
                    },

                    {
                        name: 'THREE',
                        color: 'red',
                        data:
                        [
                                    HERE WE SHOULD PLACE ALL DATA FROM FILE 3            
                        ]
                    }
         ]

Can you please help me, how I can put the data of each file into the correct place? I am new to JS and came across a helpful snipet of code, but I do not know how I can place my data inside the JS code so as to use them.

Thanks a lot!

Just echo the PHP content in the middle of the JavaScript.

<script type="text/javascript">
var jsVariable = "<?php echo $phpVariable; ?>";
</script>
