Google Maps. Markers array passing to function

Question

I'm using Google Maps API v3. My code takes objects (name, lat, lng, and type) from MySql database and markers their on map. That works for me fine. But I want to make different markers depending on them type. So here is my markers options:

var iconBaznycios = new google.maps.MarkerImage('http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_blue.png');

var iconMuziejai = new google.maps.MarkerImage('http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_red.png');

var customIcons = [];
customIcons["Baznycios"] = iconBaznycios;
customIcons["Muziejai"] = iconMuziejai;

And here is my function i want to pass my markers array:

function addMarker(lat, lng, info, type) {

  var pt = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
  bounds.extend(pt);
  var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
             position: pt,
             icon: customIcons[type],
             map: map,

  });

and maybe there is something to do with this line in php script:

echo ("addMarker($lat, $lng,'<b>$name</b><br/> $type');\n");

any ideas how to make it work my way?

I think this PHP line needs to be changed: looks like a quote is misplaced and missing a comma.

echo ("addMarker($lat, $lng,'<b>$name</b><br/>', '$type');\n");

From my experience, icon inside new google.maps.Marker only needs the URL. It's just shorter, MarkerImage should also work.

var customIcons = [];
customIcons["Baznycios"] = 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_blue.png'
customIcons["Muziejai"] = 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_red.png'
