I am unable to figure out how to assign PHP array to jQuery array?.
I want to do something like the following:
var jQueryArray = <?php $phpArray; ?>;
Can anyone tell me how I can do this?

Use json encode.
json_encode — Returns the JSON representation of a value
Example:
var arrayFromPHP = <?php echo json_encode($arr); ?>;

You can use json_encode
<?php
$arr = array('a' => 1, 'b' => 2, 'c' => 3, 'd' => 4, 'e' => 5);
echo json_encode($arr);
?>

Don't forget that PHP json_encode will only work on UTF8 encoded text ...
$jsonString = json_encode(array_map(utf8_encode, $rawArray));
would be a more universal solution I think, but I'm a bit tired so 'scuse any coding gaffs ...

It's not going to be a JQuery array, it's a javascript array (just to clarify since it's sounds like you're probably a noob). Set your JS array to this:
<?php echo json_encode($phpArray);?>
See php json_encode docs: http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php

@mplungjan haha i know - i shouldnt have wasted time getting the link
You can use Json or use foreach in HTML file
<?php foreach($phpArray as $key => $val): ?>
jQueryArray[<?php echo $key; ?>] = <?php echo $val; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
