Problem

I got a page with a form to fill it with custormers info. I got previous custormers data stored in a php array. With a dropdownlist users can fill the form with my stored data. what i have is a jquery function that triggers when the value changes and inside that function i whould like to update the form values with my stored data (in my php array). Problem is that i dont know how to pass my php array to the jquery function, any idea ?? this is how i fill the array: ``` $contador_acompanantes = 0; foreach ($acompanantes->Persona as $acomp) { $numero = $acomp->Numero; $apellidos = $acomp->Apellidos; $nombre = $acomp->Nombre; $ACOMPANANTES[$contador_acompanantes] = $ficha_acomp; $contador_acompanantes++; } ``` got my select object: ``` <select name="acompanante_anterior" id="acompanante_anterior"> <option value="1" selected>Acompañante</option> <option value="2">acompanante1</option> <option value="2">acompanante2</option> </select> ``` and this is my code for the jquery function (it is in the same .php page) ``` <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('#acompanante_anterior').on('change', function() { }); }); </script> ```
