  all_legattee_list[1]="mohit";
  all_legattee_list[2]="jain";

this is my array... How can post this using jquery???

Answer 1

you have to use all_legattee_list[] as name of your parameter, something like this:

$.post("...", "all_legattee_list[]=mohit&all_legattee_list[]=jain", ...);

Answer 2

Post this as a string separated with some delimiter.

use .join() to join the array

var strJoinedArray = all_legattee_list.join(',');

and in your php code split the string using , and retrieve the values.

Answer 3

$.post(
    'include/save_legatee.inc.php', 
    { all_legattee_list: ['mohit', 'jain'] }, 
    function(data) {

    }
);

Answer 4

For example, like this: Serializing to JSON in jQuery. Of course the server would have to support JSON deserialization, but many server-side languages already do.
