json_encode() (PHP >= 5.2) is arguably the easiest way.

$array_js = json_encode($array);

echo "<script type='text/javascript'> my_array = ".$array_js."; </script>";

If you don’t have to dynamically load it, try something like this:

<script>
var the_array = <?php echo json_encode($array); ?>
</script>
