<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

pausecontent[sch_cnt]=<?php *Here I want to assign php array and counter values (something like this - $schd_arr[sch_cnt];)* ?>;
}

You can directly use the json_encode function. It is easy to use and produces valid javascript so is very stable:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var pausecontent = <?php echo json_encode($php_array); ?>;
</script>
