Question

so I am new to using JQuery and more so .post and what I want to know is:

PHP allows me to post an array of multiple form input values like so:

<input type="text" name="array[]" />

so can I do the same with JQuery post? if so, what is the syntax?

my current use of it has been like so:

$.post('search_item.php', { unit: form.unit.value }...

many thanks,

yes !

 $.post("test.php", { 'choices[]': ["Jon", "Susan"] });

answer to comment

one way would be to map them

var choices  = $('input[name="choices[]"]').map(function() {
    return this.value;
}).get();
    // then post would look like
    $.post("test.php", { 'choices[]':choices });
