How to decode and encode a multidimensional array in javascript and php

Question

I need to encode a three dimensional array in javascript, send it to a php script and decode it there. The Problem is, javascript outputs array, just as one sequence of integers, you can't see the dimensions. I tried to convert the array to json but couldn't find figure out how to do it.

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

If you're making an ajax call, say using $.post, jQuery will automatically encode the data before it hits the PHP script you called. The size, scope, and complexity of the object doesn't matter.

Answer 2

Find a way to serialize the array - JSON or something similar. It provides a format to convert objects and arrays to plain text and vice versa.
