Trying to add dynamic options to jtable (jQuery) - php

Question

The basic syntax for adding a RadioButton to the AddRecord option is as follows
active: {
title: 'Activo',
width: '5%',
type: 'radiobutton',
options: { '0': 'No', '1': 'Si' }
},
Ive been trying to make the "options" come from the db but haven't figured a way yet (PHP).
The plugin works by using a $_REQUEST to "dbactions.php?action=", and returns a JSON Array
$jTableResult = array();
$jTableResult['Result'] = "OK";
$jTableResult['TotalRecordCount'] = $recordCount;
$jTableResult['Records'] = $rows;
print json_encode($jTableResult);
which i presume goes to the "./js/jtable/jquery.jtable.min.js" script.
As far AFAIK/have read i cannot insert php code inside a js script so i'm pretty lost as to how i could make it dynamic. All relevant examples i've found are for asap.net instead of php.
I actually wanted to use a combobox instead of a radiobutton.
So far i've been using a view to show the data, but when i insert new data i insert directly to the table (which has 3 fields instead of the 4 shown), so i need to show the name field as an option but insert the id (plus 2 dates) into one of the tables that conform the view.
Anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this?

In main file
<?php include 'file.php'; ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
active: {
title: 'Activo',
width: '5%',
type: 'radiobutton',
options: <?php echo $options ; ?>
</script>
In php file.php
<?php
//Open database connection
include 'Connections/localhost.php';
$result = mysql_query("SELECT
id,
option
FROM
options;");
//Add all records to an array
$rows = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$rows[$row['id']] = $row['option'];
}
//Return result to jTable
$options = json_encode( $rows);
//Close database connection
mysql_close($localhost);
?>
