Question

This is how I create the array

var list = $("#sortable").sortable('toArray');

$.ajax({
       type: 'POST',
       url: " some path ",
       data: { "list" : JSON.stringify(list) },
       success: function(data) {}
});

In DB it looks like that

["34","37","38","40","41","42","43","44","45","48","49","50"]

No I want to use this as array in php. How can I convert this string to an array? I tried with unserialize() method but this does not seem the way to go.

You could use the json_decode function:

$arr = json_decode($_POST["list"])
