Getting multiple post values from jQuery in PHP

Question

Given the following jquery :

$.post(path, {one:'alex', two:'thomas'}, function (response) {
    alert(response);
});

And the following PHP :

<?php
  $first = $_POST['one'];
  echo $first;
?>

How do I get it to return a response?

It works fine if I send just one variable:

$.post(path, 'one=alex', function (response) {
    alert(response);
});

Thanks

Use json.

$response = array(
    'first' => $response1,
    'second' => $response2
);
echo json_encode($response);

$.post(path, 'one=alex', function (response) {
    response = JSON.parse(response );
    alert(response.first);
});
