Passing an array variable from JS to PHP using AJAX call

Question

I have a array variable in jQuery which is created as follows:

var values = $('input:checked').map(function() {
    return this.value;
    }).get();

Assume the values in the array variable as 1,2,3. I am trying to pass this variable to php using the below ajax call:

doAjaxCallDelete("delete_checked", "values");

The ajax function is written as below:

function doAjaxCallDelete(mode, values) {
    $.ajax({
        url: ajaxURL,
        type: "post",
        data: {mode: mode, values: values},
        async: false,
        success: function(data){
            responseData = data;
        },
        error:function(){
            alert('Connection error. Please contact administrator. Thanks.');
        }
    }); 
    return responseData;
}

I am retrieving this value in php using:

$myArray = $_REQUEST["values"];

But when I echo $myArray its showing 'values' instead of the real values inside the variable. Can anybody suggest a solution to pass values of the array variable properly. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

it is the double quotes you use in the function call

doAjaxCallDelete("delete_checked", "values");

you pass a string "values" instead of variable values.

use doAjaxCallDelete("delete_checked", values); instead.

note:

use $_POST['values'];
