So I am trying to create a variable that grabs the type\_name from an array. 

Here is my array.

```
var customIcons = {
        ItemI: {
            icon: 'http://...'
            type_name: 'East'
        },
        ItemII: {
            icon: 'http://...'
            type_name: 'West'
        },
        ItemIII: {
            icon: 'https:...'
            type_name: 'North'

        },
        question: {
            icon: 'https:...'
            type_name: 'South'

        }

```

}

Here is the variable I am trying to create. I know the php is passing in correctly, but I do not know why it is not grabbing the appropriate type\_name from the array: 

```
   var buttonText= customIcons[<?php echo $type; ?>].type_name;

```

I am getting a cannot read property 'type\_name' of undefined when I try to use the variable. 

Sincere thanks for any help! It is greatly appreciated.
