post php array to ajax using jquery

Question

I have the following :

<script charset="UTF-8">
function deleter(theid) {
    var namme = document.getElementById(theid).id;
    $.post( "sql_machine.php",  { 
        selection_name: select_namme
    })
}
</script>

using jquery, would it be possible to post a php array too? may be encoding it as json? like the following?

<script charset="UTF-8">
function deleter(theid) {
    var select_namme = document.getElementById(theid).id;
    $.post( "sql_machine_tomskus.php",  { 
        selection_name: select_namme,
        { array : dataToSend }
    })
}
</script>

what did u mean with php array ? dataToSend is an array comming from php ? — levi

Just use JSON.stringify to send the array, and to decode it to array in php, use json_decode.

In JQ:

<script charset="UTF-8">
function deleter(theid) {
    var select_namme = document.getElementById(theid).id;
    $.post( "sql_machine_tomskus.php",  { 
        selection_name: select_namme,
        array : JSON.stringify(yourArrayOrObject)
    })
}
</script>

Then, in php just use json_decode($_POST["array"])

@markoc. just save the array into yourArrayOrObject or place it right there... var yourArrayOrObject = {name: 'vlad'};, or you can place the array right inside the AJAX call: array : JSON.stringify({name: 'vlad'})

thanksGINCHER here it is my final solution :

    <script charset="UTF-8">
        function deleter(theid) {
            var select_namme = document.getElementById(theid).id;
            $.post( "sql_machine.php",  { 
                selection_name: select_namme,
                array : <?echo json_encode($array);?>
            })
        }
    </script>

Both JSON.stringify and json_encode do the same action. If you already have it in JSON you don't have to convert it to JSON. Just do it like this: array : "<?echo json_encode($array);?>"

Add error checking if this is intended for a production environment. You can thank me later ;)
