How to Load a JavaScript Array Items To MySQL Database Using jQuery Ajax

Question

I Have a simple array which looks like

var arr = ["foo", "2015/11/04", "Jill", "Smith", "60"]
var serializedArr = JSON.stringify( arr );

now can you please let me know how I can load the serializedArr into the data in following ajax request?

var upload = $.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "assets/.../loader.php",
    data: data,
    cache: false,
    beforeSend: function() {
    }
});

and also how to read the data on server side PHP file? Thanks

var upload = $.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "assets/.../loader.php",
    data: {array:serializedArr},// pass here{key:value,key:value,...}
    cache: false,
    beforeSend: function() {
    }
});

In php

$array = json_decode($_POST['array']);
print_r($array);// this will get back the array which was encoded.

You have to decode the array because, array is encoded(JSON.stringify(arr))

Thanks Niranjan, just on PHP side can you please let me know incase of having a variable like `$foo` how can I get it's value from the `$array` I mean the first item in the `arr` – Behseini Nov 05 '15 at 06:19
use `foreach()` on `$array`, and get the values . – Niranjan N Raju Nov 05 '15 at 06:20
why `foreach()`? I just need the first element? in a only one set of array – Behseini Nov 05 '15 at 06:21
`echo $array[0];`. But this is simply spoon feeding nothing else – Narendrasingh Sisodia Nov 05 '15 at 06:23
if you want only 1 element, then dont encode r aont use array. just send as normal variable. – Niranjan N Raju Nov 05 '15 at 06:26
