dynamically generating javascript snip from php/mysql or ajax?

[mgm_03]

I have a javascript based gallery script and the photo data (filename, w,h, caption) are hardcoded into the javascript. I'm unfamiliar with hackign javascript.

I would prefer to have the photo data come from either php/mysql (which I am familiar with) or an AJAX request. Below is the code snip I need to generate dynamically. Any thoughts on this are very appreciated.

	// Define each photo's name, height, width, and caption
	var photoArray = new Array(
		// Source, Width, Height, Caption

new Array("3.jpg", "500", "280", "Door 3 - Click on the image to view previous or next image"),
new Array("2.jpg", "425", "319", "Door 2 - Click on the image to view previous or next image"),             
new Array("1.jpg", "700", "260", "Door 1 - Click on the image to view previous or next image")
);

It would be a little easier to use array literals:

["3.jpg", "500", "280", "Door 3 - Click on the image to view previous or next image"],
["2.jpg", "425", "319", "Door 2 - Click on the image to view previous or next image"],
["1.jpg", "700", "260", "Door 1 - Click on the image to view previous or next image"]

Without seeing how this is used in your Js I can't suggest much else.
