How to send a javascript array to PHP using Jquery Ajax

Question

How to send a javascript array to PHP using Jquery Ajax.(Note: i will get a Jsondata as a response of the PHP).Also how to get the array variable in php.

In Javascript:

var userarray=values.toString().split(',');
 var jsonData = $.ajax({
 url: "http://someURL/server/test.php",
 data:userarray,
 dataType:"json", 
 async: false
 }).responseText;
var timedata = new google.visualization.DataTable(jsonData);

In PHP:

$userdata=$_GET['userarray'];

is it correct?

• RoToRa: BTW, you should reconsider using a asynchronous request instead of synchronous. Synchronous requests lock up the browser giving the user a bad experience.

Do this instead for your javascript:

var jsonData = $.ajax({
 url: "http://someURL/server/test.php",
 data: { 'userarray': userarray },
 dataType:"json", 
 async: false
 }).responseText;

Your PHP code should be as is

• Ronald Borla: data: { 'userarray': userarray }
