Get multiple values from jquery and post it to php

Question

<input type="checkbox" value="<?= $servicii_content[$j]['title'] ?>" name="check_list" id="check" />

i get multiple values from the table above if the checkboxes are checked with jQuery, like this.

var temp = $("input:checkbox[name=check_list]:checked").map(function(){  
    return $(this).val();
}).get();
alert(temp);

I get the alert with the correct checked values!

I post them later here:

url: "/servicii_email.php",
            type: "POST",
            data: {
                families: temp,

How can I get the elements of "families" eg.:Family1, Family2, Family3, etc. - which are checked to post it to the php file? What is the correct way to do that?

Answer 1

For example, you can just make string with name of variable and it value. That will be something like this Family1=true,Family2=false

On server you just need to split string by , and after that split by = , you will get two dimensional array {{Family1, true}, {Family2, false}}

Answer 2

You can make use of serializeArray() method:

var temp = $("input:checkbox[name=check_list]:checked").serializeArray();
// outputs:  
// [{name:"check_list", value:"theValue"},......n]
