As I'm sure you know, you can't literally copy the values from PHP
into the javascript variable because the two languages are not
running concurrently; first PHP runs and finishes, then javascript
runs. What you can do is use PHP to build javascript code in which
the array values are hardcoded.
Say you want the javascript code to look like this:
aFileArray = new Array('file1.jpg', 'file2.jpg', 'file3.jpg');
Then PHP can write this for example into the HTML head:
// join array with quotes & commas
$html = implode("', '", $files);
// output javascript statement to browser
echo "aFileArray = new Array('$html');";
or:
echo <<<_
<script type="text/javascript">
aFileArray = new Array('$html');
</script>
_;
