PHP JavaScript MapBox trying figure out how to pass custom data for markers

Question

Alright, trying to work with Mapbox http://www.mapbox.com, and I have finally came to a point where I think I got my maps working properly based on there examples with my setup. At this point I want to start passing custom data of my own for use with markers on the site. I know it has to be a particular format, an all else which is fine I'm sure I can figure out how to format it properly once I figure out how I invoke this custom like useage with data from my own server.

You can add markers with the markers API, by making GeoJSON - here's the simple GeoJSON spec, which you can make from PHP by creating the proper array structure and then using json_encode.
