info php ->javascript possible?

I'm debating how to use a php array of 39 color names within a javascript code.

<?php
$COLORS = Array(
"Red",
"Blue",
"Green",
"Orange",
"Pink",
"Sienna",
"DarkOliveGreen",
"DarkGreen",
"DarkSlateBlue",
"Navy",
"Indigo",
"DarkSlateGray",
"DarkRed",
"DarkOrange",
"Olive",
"Teal",
"SlateGray",
"DimGray",
"SandyBrown",
"YellowGreen",
"SeaGreen",
"MediumTurquoise",
"Purple",
"Gray",
"Magenta",
"Yellow",
"Lime",
"Cyan",
"DeepSkyBlue",
"DarkOrchid",
"Silver",
"Wheat",
"LemonChiffon",
"PaleGreen",
"PaleTurquoise",
"LightBlue",
"Plum",
"Black",
"White"
);
?>

PHP:

 

<form action="">
<select name="colors">
[php]<?php
foreach ($COLORS as $COLOR){
echo "<option value='$COLOR'>$COLOR</option>";
?>[/php]
</select>
</form>

Code (markup):

you could do something like that and you might have to edit it a little

 

a straight export without loops / iterations from php into js:

<script type="text/javascript">
var COLORS = ['<?=implode("','", $COLORS)?>']; // will print ... = ['Red','Blue',...];
</script>

PHP:

also useful: consider json_encode / json_decode (look them up on php manual, very handy for transferring of data structures)
