i'm trying to work on a design website where users can design something on html5 canvas and than save it on the server. All information is stored on mysql database and the designs are stored in a javascript array. I want to be able to pass copy the entire array from javascript into php, save it in the database and than retrieve it back into javascript.

I've searched the web for this but couldnt find a working solution. Using post/get didnt work. If i print the array using javascript i get something like [object OBJECT, object OBJECT].

Is there anyway to pass arrays between javascript and php?

Thanks

Googling a sentence verbatim from your question, Is there anyway to pass arrays between javascript and php? returns this as the top result: "How can I pass a variable from JavaScript to PHP" php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php#faq.html.javascript-variable – msanford 11 hours ago
Yes but you cannot pass from Javascript to PHP. – flov 11 hours ago
@flov You cannot pass them directly, but there are means to do so. Your comment is incorrect. – izuriel 11 hours ago

Yes, you can do that by using AJAX. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_%28programming%29.

jQuery can help with that http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/.
