    text
    copied!<p>Lets say I have an array of javascript objects, and I am trying to pass those objects to a php page to save them into a database. I have no problems passing a variable to the php and using $_POST["entries"] on that variable but I can't figure out how to pass an entire array of objects, so I can access my objects.entryId and .mediaType values on the php page.</p> <p>Oh and before anyone asks, yes the reason I need to do it this way is because I have a flash uploader, that you guessed it.. uploads into a CDN server (remote) and the remote server only replies back with such js objects.</p> <p>Thanks for any help anyone can provide.</p> <p>Here is my JS functions:</p> <pre><code>function test() { entriesObj1 = new Object(); entriesObj1.entryId = "abc"; entriesObj1.mediaType = 2; entriesObj2 = new Object(); entriesObj2.entryId = "def"; entriesObj2.mediaType = 1; var entries = new Array(); entries[0] = entriesObj1; entries[1] = entriesObj2; var parameterString; for(var i = 0; i &lt; entries.length; i++) { parameterString += (i &gt; 0 ? "&amp;" : "") + "test" + "=" + encodeURI(entries[i].entryId); } xmlhttp.open("POST","ajax_entries.php",true); xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-length", parameterString.length); xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close"); xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = handleServerResponseTest; xmlhttp.send(parameterString); } function handleServerResponseTest() { if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4) { if(xmlhttp.status == 200) { alert(xmlhttp.responseText); } else { alert("Error during AJAX call. Please try again"); } } } </code></pre>
