    copied!<p>I have a global variable I'm using to store a bunch of information in a project I'm working on. It is an object with various values and I guess other objects in it. For example...</p> <pre><code>$.myVar { currentProj : "Project 1", allProjs : [], toggleVar : 0 } </code></pre> <p>Now as the program runs and I do things, I'm actually adding arrays within allProjs. I want to use the array index as the name of the project, and then it contains a bunch of information. Here is a sample of what the object looks like after running the program for a few minutes.</p> <p>(copied from Chrome's console):</p> <pre><code>$.myVar Object currentProj: "McB2" toggleVar: 0 allProjs: Array[0] McB1: Array[0] length: 0 __proto__: Array[0] McB2: Array[4] 0: "02070124" 1: "02030036" 2: "02090313" 3: "02090450" length: 4 </code></pre> <p>Now I want to pass this data to a PHP file using $.post so I can convert it to JSON and save it on the server.</p> <p>I do this basically by just running:</p> <pre><code>$.post('saveJSON.php', $.myVar, function(data) { $('#dumpspace').html(data); }); </code></pre> <p>For debugging I've got the PHP file just outputting:</p> <pre><code>print_r($_REQUEST); </code></pre> <p>Now I would expect a multi-dimensional array that I could convert to JSON and then save, but all it is spitting out is:</p> <pre><code>Array ( [currentProj] =&gt; McB2 [toggelVar] =&gt; 0 ) </code></pre> <p>So I can see that it's not sending the the allProj section of the object, but I'm not sure why! It does seem to show up when I look at the object in the console, so I'm not sure what I'm missing. </p> <p>Any help is appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p><b>Clarification</b></p> <p>The first section, where I declare allProjs, is it possible I'm doing something wrong there? When I run Stringify, I end up with a similarly wrong result:</p> <pre><code>JSON.stringify($.myVar) "{"currentProj":"McB2","allProjs":[],"toggleVar":0}" </code></pre>
