How to replace strings in a Javascript array

Question

I am trying to pass the values of a Javascript array to a PHP URL through Ajax. Here is script array

<script>"Talent_Percentile.php?"+globalArray"</script>

Where globalArray is my Javascript array. When I alert this, I get

Talent_Percentile.php?eqt_param1=4.00,eqt_param2=4.00,eqt_param3=4.00

I know about string replace but I don't know how to use it on an array. I need an output like

Talent_Percentile.php?eqt_param1=4.00&eqt_param2=4.00&eqt_param3=4.00

Can someone help me?

which string do you want to use as array? post some codes what you've tried — polin

I'd recommend encoding your array to JSON:

<script>
     var url = "Talent_Percentile.php?" + JSON.stringify(globalArray);
</script>

On the server side, use json_decode to decode the data.

var mystring = globalArray.join("&");
var url = "Talent_Percentile.php?" + mystring;

Generally, to apply a function to all elements of an array you should use map:

globalArray = globalArray.map(function(v) {
    return v.replace("old", "new");
});
