无法通过Ajax发布数组

Question

I am trying to post an array created in js to a php page

 var newEventArray = new Array();  
        newEventArray["title"] = title;
        newEventArray["description"] = description;
        newEventArray["type"] = type;
        newEventArray["visibility"] = visibility;
        newEventArray["priority"] = priority;
        newEventArray["start"] = start;
        newEventArray["end"] = end;
        newEventArray["allDay"] = allDay;

        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "includes/processor.php",
            data: {request: 'createevent',
                requestarray: newEventArray},

            dataType: "json",
            success: function(data) {

            },
            error: function(data) {
            }
        });

but i am unable to get the array at the php end. The array doesnt show when checked with firebug

JavaScript Arrays are designed to hold an ordered sequence of items with integer keys. When jQuery converts a data structure into Form URL Encoded data and encounters an array, it will iterate over those integer keys and not over named keys.

Use an Object if you want to have named keys.
