Passing Javascript obects to PHP

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to pass js obects to php via jQuery’s .load() function.

Everything is working fine but I don’t know or understand how to output the obect using php.

Here is my JS code:

jQuery(function () {

    var myArray = [{ 'name' : 'Steve', 'surname' : 'Bluck' }];

    //Save options via Ajax-------------//
    jQuery("#saveoptions").click(function(){

             jQuery(this).load('<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/lib/admin/save.php', {

                'options[]' : myArray

               });

          });

});

This is my PHP code:

$options = $_POST['options'];
print_r($options);

And the outcome is this:

Array ( [0] => [object Object] )

What am I doing wrong?

Maybe you should check out the PHP functions json_encode and json_decode?

Edit: I was looking for a tut that handles AJAX interaction with PHP with the avove mentioned functions but I can’t find it anymore.

If you’re still having difficulties I can send you my js and php script that does this kind of interaction, let me know I think the scripts are pretty self-explanatory.

Yes please, I’m going crazy – I’ll send you a mail now.
