Is it possible to pass a javascript array through GET and access it through $_GET at the other end..?

Question

Hi all...

I have a javascript array say jsArr[]. I want this array to be passed to a php page through the get method. Something like "nextPage.php?arr=jsArr[]".

There i should be able to access the array like "$arr[] = $_GET[arr]" and perform operations like foreach($arr as $key => $val).

Is it possible...?

Thanks a lot in advance...

Answer 1

One way to achieve this would be jQuery's serialize()

Answer 2

you need to change your url to be:

nextPage.php?arr[]=js&arr[]=js2

for example.

var_dump($_GET);

outputs: array(1) { ["arr"]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(2) "js" [1]=> string(3) "js2" } }

You can also use JSON (JS parser here)

JS:

  var arr = [1, 4, 9];
  var url = '/page.php?arr=' + JSON.stringify(arr);
  window.location.href = url;

PHP:

$arr = isset($_REQUEST['arr']) ? json_decode($_REQUEST['arr']) : array();
