Question

‘i have JavaScript associative array name ‘options’

<script>
options[dynamickey] = Number; 
</script>

and i just want to send this array to codeigniter model using jQuery post

<script>
$.('link',options);
</script>

But the problem is I don’t know how to extract each of the keys and values of this array (options).
My JavaScript array with data looks like this

 <script>
  options { 
     id => 135,
     'Chestnut' => 11,
     'Cinamon' => 1
   }
</script>

in codeigniter (PHP) model i just wanna extract this array like this

<?php
 $id = $this->input->post('id');
//below variable names and data should be dynamic from that javascript array
$chesnut= $this->input->post('dynamic value');
?>

Please help me to solve this.

Answer 1

in your jQuery, you do a post:

var options = { 
    'id' : 135,
    'Chestnut' : 11,
    'Cinamon' : 1
}

$.post('example.com/index.php/firstsegment/secondsegment',options,function(data){...});

In a CodeIgniter Controller that receives this post:

public firstsegment extends CI_Controller {

    public function secondsegment(){
        $data = $this->input->post();

        if($data){
            /*
            $data will contain this:
            $data = array(
                'id' => '135',
                'Chestnit' => '11',
                'Cinamon' => '1'
            );
            */
        }
    }
}
