What about:

Code:
// mycontroller.php

// requires: PHP5

class MyController extends Controller {

  function index() {

    $some_array = array('one','two','threefourfive');

    $data['javascript_vars'] = array('arbitraryDataArray'=>$some_array);

    $data['javascript_vars'] = json_encode($data['javascript_vars']);

    $this->load->view('someview');

  }

}

// someview.php

&lt;html&gt;

   &lt;head&gt;

     <-script->

      var pageValues = &lt;?=$javascript_vars ?&gt;

     </-script->

   &lt;/head&gt;

   &lt;body&gt;

   &lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

You can access your PHP-defined Javascript array with pageValues.arbitraryDataArray.

It's not the best way of doing it, but it imposes a clear separation between Javascript logic code and 'bridge data' that communicates between your PHP and your Javascript.
