Sending Multidimentional array data, with ajax, to a php script

Question

I have two simple scripts. One client-side jquery that has multidim array & a server-side php script. in php $data stays empty.

jquery

console.log("IN JQUERY");
console.log(inps);

$.ajax({
  type:           'post',
  cache:          false,
  url:            './gen.php',
  data:           inps,
  success: function(response){
    console.log("RESPONSE");
    console.log(response);
  }
});

gen.php

<?php
$data = file_get_contents('php://input');
$data = json_decode($data, true);
print_r($data);
?>

firefox console output

>POST ..././gen.php [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 1ms]
>"IN JQUERY" 
>{isbranch: "1", ismanager: "0", isdept: "1"} 
>"RESPONSE" 
>""

Is there a way to send Multi Dimensional array to the php with ajax without spliting array?

You should use JSON.stringify to encode your data before send it, also better to add correct contentType to it:

$.ajax({
  type:           'post',
  cache:          false,
  url:            '/gen.php',
  data:           JSON.stringify(inps),
  contentType:    'application/json',
  success: function(response){
    console.log("RESPONSE");
    console.log(response);
  }
});

...perfect "IN JQUERY" test:515 {isbranch: "0", ismanager: "1", isdept: "0"} test:516 "RESPONSE" test:525 "Array ( [isbranch] => 0 [ismanager] => 1 [isdept] => 0 ) "

The key-value pairs should already exist in your $_POST

$isbranch = $_POST['isbranch'];
$ismanager = $_POST['ismanager'];
$isdept = $_POST['isdept'];
