    <p>I have a form with deep multidimensional inputs like so:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form id="theForm"&gt; &lt;input type='text' name='one[two][three][]' /&gt; &lt;input type='text' name='one[two][three][]' /&gt; &lt;input type='text' name='four[five][six][seven]' /&gt; &lt;input type='text' name='eight[nine][ten]' /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am trying to send the values via AJAX in the same format as if the form was submitted normally. What I mean is, if I were to hit the submit button, in PHP, $_POST would look like this. This is what I want:</p> <pre><code>array( 'one' =&gt; array( 'two' =&gt; array('three'=&gt;array( [0] =&gt; "", [1] =&gt; "" ) ) ), 'four' =&gt; array( 'five' =&gt; array ('six' =&gt; array( 'seven' =&gt; "" ) ) ), 'eight' =&gt; array( 'nine' =&gt; array( 'ten' =&gt; "" ) ) ) ) </code></pre> <p>I am essentially trying to AJAX the form submission. When I do</p> <pre><code>$("#theForm").serializeArray() </code></pre> <p>And the send that over <code>$.post()</code> my $_POST looks like this:</p> <pre><code>array( [0] =&gt; array( "name" =&gt; string "one[two][three][]", value=&gt;"") [1] =&gt; array( "name" =&gt; string "one[two][three][]", value=&gt;"") [2] =&gt; array( "name" =&gt; string "four[five][six][seven]", value=&gt;"") [3] =&gt; array( "name" =&gt; string "eight[nine][ten]", value=&gt;"") ) </code></pre> <p>This is of no use to me. I need to preserve the multidimensional structure I outlined before. I suppose I could walk through the array and chop up the string to recreate what I need, but this seems asinine to me. Is the a jQuery friendly way to accomplish this?</p> <p>I've read the other posts about how jQuery can send multidimensional arrays just fine, so maybe the question I need to ask is, how do I extract my form data, keeping it in a multidimensional array? </p>

    1. CO[Check out this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/1186309/575527). This turns a form into a JS object which may preserve the key-value structure of the form array by properly turning elements to objects and arrays.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
