Converting javascript array into individual variables using jQuery

Question

I am trying to explode an array into individual variables which I can then post to my PHP file using $.ajax.

My array is as follows:

var arr = ["11th", "february", "2013"]
// How can I go through this array and take each element and place it into its individual variable?

• Blender: What does the resulting object look like?
• MatRt: You ca directly used your array for posting data. What is the purpose of doing this ? WHat should be the name of each var ?
• Daniel Makinbo: I would like to separate the array into individual variables so that I don't have to do it on the server side when I use the values to query a table. Variables are called, day, month, year. I know its odd to do this but I have no other option. Thanks.
• MatRt: Yes but when you will do your post in ajax, you can send different var and so, send separatelly arr[0], arr[1] and arr[2]. You can do this by writting this in the configuration of your ajax post: ...,data { day: arr[0], month: arr[1], year: arr[2] }...
• Daniel Makinbo: @user1073122 Wow thats great, I did not know that was possible. I have honestly tried to research that exact functionality online and could not find any information on it. Thanks again, I am going to give it a try!

Answer 1

You can directly use your array for posting data

when you do your post in ajax, you can send different var and so, send separately arr[0], arr[1] and arr[2]. You can do this by writting this in the configuration of your ajax post:

$.ajax({
 ..your config..,
 data: { 
 day: arr[0], 
 month: arr[1], 
 year: arr[2] 
 },
 ...your config...
});
