multi-dimensional array post from form

I would like to send some data from the client to the PHP server using jQuery $.post(). When it arrives at the server, I would like $_POST['myList'] to be equal to either of the following (what ever is easiest). What should I set the data object to within $.post()?

array (
  0=>array('id'=>123,'d1'=>'aaa','d2'=>'xxx'),
  1=>array('id'=>234,'d1'=>'bbb','d2'=>'yyy'),
  2=>array('id'=>345,'d1'=>'ccc','d2'=>'zzz')
)

array (
  123=>array('d1'=>'aaa','d2'=>'xxx'),
  234=>array('d1'=>'bbb','d2'=>'yyy'),
  345=>array('d1'=>'ccc','d2'=>'zzz')
)

Answer 1

EDIT: first one looked like a simple array of objects, but seems jQuery needs this to be a keyed object:

var send_this = {
  0: { id: 123, d1: 'aaa', d2: 'xxx' },
  1: { id: 234, d1: 'bbb', d2: 'yyy' },
  2: { id: 345, d1: 'ccc', d2: 'zzz' }
};

Second looks just has different looking keys for object containing objects:

var send_this = {
  '123': { d1: 'aaa', d2: 'xxx' },
  '234': { d1: 'bbb', d2: 'yyy' },
  '345': { d1: 'ccc', d2: 'zzz' }
};

Tested implementation in jQuery 1.7.1:

$.post( '/herp.php', send_this, function(d) {
    console.info( d );
});

The PHP program receives data exactly as you want it in $_POST.
