Passing JavaScript array to input in PHP

Question

I'm trying to pass an array from JavaScript to a PHP input. I want to pass my array as an array inside my input, not a string.

My array is this:

["0_1","0_2"]

And this is how I pass my array to my input:

$('#movefile_id').val(JSON.stringify(allfiledata));

Can I pass the array to the input file without making it a string?

read this:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify

you can convert your array to JSON

var arrayJavascript = JSON.stringify(["0_1","0_2"]);

and with PHP, read this:

http://php.net/manual/es/function.json-decode.php

$arrayPHP = json_decode($_POST["arrayJavascript"]);

1- Covert the Javascript Array to JSON

2- Post that JSON string to PHP using jquery post or jquery get

This is possible through only using Ajax. Because javscript is a Client side language and PHP is a server side language.We can only connect both using Ajax.
