Question

I was trying to find an answer for this question for a while but no luck.

The problem is this. On one PHP page i have multiple javascript arrays (lets say 2). One of those arrays is an array that represents pieces of a shirt and the other array contains color of each piece.

  $pieces[0] = 'base';
  $pieces[1] = 'sleeves';
  $pieces[2] = 'pocket';

  $colors[0] = 'white';
  $colors[1] = 'red';
  $colors[2] = 'black';

On top of all that i have a form with where user can enter some data.

Now my question is, how can I pass those two arrays and form data to a PHP page?

Thanks for all your help.

Well in case that someone has the same problem the solution is to serialize the arrays, insert them in a hidden field on a form and deserialize it on a PHP page

I am not sure if I get your question as you appear to have listed a PHP array there and not a Javascript one.

Passing as one array from JS

var pieces = [
    "base",
    "sleeves",
    "pocket"
];
var colors = [
    "white",
    "red",
    "black"
];
var send_array = {
    "colors": colors,
    "pieces": pieces
};
$.post('/my/url.php', send_array); //using jQuery for ajax request

Extracting json array in PHP

$send_array = json_decode($json, true);  

Passing as one array from PHP to JS

$pieces[0] = 'base';
$pieces[1] = 'sleeves';
$pieces[2] = 'pocket';

$colors[0] = 'white';
$colors[1] = 'red';
$colors[2] = 'black';

$send_array = array(
    'colors' => $colors,
    'pieces' => $pieces,
);
$json = json_encode($send_array);
