Hi All,

This is a similar question to this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/713884/convert-js-array-to-json-object-for-use-with-jquery-ajax

Except that I have an object that has several arrays in it.

Object looks like (simulated):

{"Users":[1,2,3,4], "Clients":[5,6,7,8], "CompletionStatus":"pastdue", "DateRange":"thisweek"}

and is created like so:

            Filter = new FilterData;

            Filter.Add(9, "Clients");
            Filter.Add(12, "Clients");
            Filter.Add(75, "Clients");

            Filter.Add(9, "Users");
            Filter.Add(12, "Users");
            Filter.Add(75, "Users");

            Filter.SetValue("DateRange", "yesterday");

	function FilterData(){

		this.Users = [];

		this.Clients = [];

		this.Options = [];
		this.Options.CompletionStatus = [];
		this.Options.DateRange = [];

		this.Add = function(id, type){
			this[type].push(id);
			this[type] = this[type].unique();
			return;
		}

		this.Rem = function(id, type){+
			this[type].splice( Filter[type].indexOf(id), 1);
			this[type] = this[type].unique();
			return;
		}

		this.SetValue = function(key, value){
			this.Options[key] = value;
		}

	}

...

If I just do:

AjaxRequest = $.ajax({
...
data: Filter,
...
});

it seems that obj will end up like: ...Users=1&Users=2&Users=3&....

This is causes PHP to only see one value for Users, which will be the last one, in this case 3.

where what I need for PHP to see the arrays properly is: ..Users[]=1&Users[]=2&Users[]=3&....

Any idea how to correct this?

Example:

In firebug, my post looks like this:

Clients 1
Clients 10
CompletionStatus    pastdue
DateRange   14
Users   2
Users   3
Users   4

and my response looks like this:
page: <?php print_r($_POST) ?>

Array
(
    [Users] => 4
    [Clients] => 10
    [CompletionStatus] => pastdue
    [DateRange] => 14
)
