Question

I have the following

    var storage = [], obj;
    $('form input[type=hidden]').each(function(){
        obj = {};
        obj[this.name] = this.value;
        obj["spot"] = this.className
        storage.push(obj);
    });

    storage = $.toJSON(storage);
    console.log(storage);

    $.post('storage/', storage, function(data) {
        if(data == "true") {
            //window.location.href = href;
        }else{
            alert("An error has been encountered, Blah has been notified, please try again later");
        }
    });

and in PHP I have a simple <?php print_r($_POST); ?> and it is printing Array( ) it does not seem to be posting the json encoded results.

It’s driving me nuts and I have no idea what is going on lol. Any help?

ps. I am using http://code.google.com/p/jquery-json/ as a json encoder.

jQuery’s ajax data option expects either an object, or a query string. You are passing is a json string, which it isn’t expecting. try this instead:

$.post('storage/', {storage: storage}, function(data){...});

and in php, access the value with $_POST["storage"]

Edit: Also, data == "true" should be /true/i.test(data) just in-case your php returns any hidden characters such as spaces tabs or returns.
