JavaScript:

var contact = {
    menu: null,
    access: null,
    state: null
};
$.post("myfile.php", {contact: contact}, function(data) { 
    alert(data);
});

PHP:

$contact = $_POST['contact'];
echo $contact['menu'];

UPDATE:

Answer to your question in comments:

var contact = {
    menu: null,
    state:  null,
    access: null,
    fill: function() {
        this.menu = 1; // $("div#sm").html(); 
        this.state = 2;
        this.access = 3;
    }
};

contact.fill();

$.post("myfile.php", {contact: contact}, function(data) { 
    alert(data);
});

i am changing the class attributes down the code like contact.menu=$("div#sm").innerhtml();so i dont want to change the format . can i do contact['menu']=$("div#sm").innerhtml(); using your code ?instead . ill try that right now! – user1542 Oct 01 '12 at 21:23
Check the update of my answer. Also there's a jQuery method `$.html()`, not `innerhtml`, as you're writing. – Eugene Naydenov Oct 01 '12 at 21:30
that innerhtml was just to tell you want i wanted and thanks for the answer .also figured that now anywhere in the code i can do contact['menu']=$("div#sm").html(); – user1542 Oct 01 '12 at 21:36
in php when im only getting the first index of the contact only menu and not echo $contact['access']; – user1542 Oct 01 '12 at 21:53
Yea, you can initialize object's property later. `var contact = {};` then: `contact.menu = $("div#sm").html();` or `contact['menu'] = $('div#sm');` – Eugene Naydenov Oct 02 '12 at 06:17

Object contact is supposed to be like this

 var contact = {
    menu :null,
    access:null,
    state:null
   }
