Question

I’m trying to pass an array like this using jQuery, but the PHP script never receives it and a look through Chrome’s network trace shows that only title is passed.

var items = new Array();

items[0] = new Array();
items[0]['code'] = '1234';
items[0]['checked'] = true;

items[1] = new Array();
items[1]['code'] = '4524';
items[1]['checked'] = false;

This is the code that does the AJAX request:

var sUrl = "<?= base_url(); ?>list/create/";
var serialized = {
    title: 'Some Value Here',
    items: items
};
$.ajax({
    url: sUrl,
    type: "POST",
    data: serialized,
    success: function(data) {
        alert(data);
        list_id = data;
    }
});                 

The problem seems to be that jQuery can’t serialize it. Is there any way around this? Thanks!

What happens when you create your items object like this:

var items = [
    {
        code: '1234'
        , checked: true
    }
    ,{
        code: '4568'
        , checked: false
    }
];

I think the problem is you’re creating an array with your interior object when you should just be creating a standard object.
