Question

I want to manipulate a JavaScript array in PHP. Is it possible to do something like this?

$.ajax({
       type: "POST",
       url: "tourFinderFunctions.php",
       data: "activitiesArray="+activities,
       success: function() {
            $("#lengthQuestion").fadeOut('slow');
       }
    });

Activities is a single dimensional array like:

var activities = ['Location Zero', 'Location One', 'Location Two'];

The script does not complete when I try this… How can I fix it?

Answer 1

data: { activitiesArray: activities },

That’s it! Now you can access it in PHP:

<?php $myArray = $_REQUEST['activitiesArray']; ?>
