通过AJAX将对象传递给PHP

Question

I was wondering if it is possible to pass an array to a php function using the jQuery AJAX function. I have the following as my javascript

arr_data = {
    field01: "data 01",
    field02: "data 02",
    field03: "data 03",
    field04: "data 04"
}

$.ajax({
    url: "scripts/php/phpfunc.php",
    type: "GET",
    dataType: "json",
    data: {
        'action': "exec_find",
        'field01': arr_data["field01"],
        'field02': arr_data["field02"],
        'field03': arr_data["field03"],
        'field04': arr_data["field04"]
    },
    success: function(result) {
        // continue program
    },
    error: function(log) {
        // handle error
    }
});

When I try to do the following though

arr_data = {
    field01: "data 01",
    field02: "data 02",
    field03: "data 03",
    field04: "data 04"
}

$.ajax({
    url: "scripts/php/phpfunc.php",
    type: "GET",
    dataType: "json",
    data: {
        'action': "exec_find",
        'data': arr_data
    },
    success: function(result) {
        // continue program
    },
    error: function(log) {
        // handle error
    }
});

I receive it in the PHP as "Array". How can I correctly send the object so that it is usable by the PHP function?

Answer 1

Please try to pass the array in the format of json. Then use the get the json in your php and access the json array.

<script>

arr_data = {
    field01: "data 01",
    field02: "data 02",
    field03: "data 03",
    field04: "data 04"
}
var  myJsonString= JSON.stringify(arr_data);
$.ajax({
    url: "scripts/php/phpfunc.php",
    type: "GET",
    dataType: "json",
    data: {
        'action': "exec_find",
        'data': myJsonString
    },
    success: function(result) {
        // continue program
    },
    error: function(log) {
        // handle error
    }
});
</script>

this is your java script. and below is the php

$dataJson=json_decode($_GET['data']);

here you can get the json array and loop through it and do what ever you want.

Please have try at this. This is working in my case.

Answer 2

from the second ajax you can access the data based on the property names like: $_GET['data']['field01']

$_GET['data'] is the js object converted in php in a associative array

Answer 3

try this :

$.ajax({
    url: "scripts/php/phpfunc.php",
    method: "POST",
    dataType: "json",
    data: {
        'action': "exec_find",
        'data': arr_data.serialize()
    },

serialize()
