Question

so I am rather new to the whole .post() experience with jquery.

I have only experience POSTing input values so far. What I want to do is POST an array.

which is a standard array of a list of numbers. The end goal being: performing a query with these values.

Could somebody explain to me very basically how using JQuery .post() I can post my array?

many thanks,

I guess, without going into great detail, the answer on you question is called JSON.

The process is easy:

Backend (PHP) Array -> encode as JSON
string -> send that JSON string to the
browser -> decode the JSON string as
Javascript Array
