Trying to pass an array to a php page using an ajax request. The current response is ction Array() { [native code] } as opposed to the actual array contents (which im positive is not empty). Here my code:
function GetPaginationPage(array1) { var jsonString = JSON.stringify(array1); $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "includes/get_pagination_page.php", data: {data : jsonString}, success: function(data){ $('.contestants_list').append(data); } }); }; UPDated with json, its now passing 'undefined'
There's no reason to use JSON.stringify here. Just send the array normally to PHP.
function GetPaginationPage(array1) { $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "includes/get_pagination_page.php", data: { data: array1 }, success: function (data) { $('.contestants_list').append(data); } }); } Now in PHP, $_POST['data'] will be an array.
UPDATE: You said you're calling GetPaginationPage like this:
GetPaginationPage(<?php echo $contestants_array; ?>); You need to change that to:
GetPaginationPage(<?php echo json_encode($contestants_array); ?>); When you echo an array in PHP, it gets converted to the string "Array", which is intrepreted by JavaScript as the Array object.
data:[object Object] data:[object Object] data:[object Object] where we need the actual object, not the face that its an object
.join(','), that won't work with an array of objects. What happens when you console.log(array1)?Convert the array to a string before passing it like so:
array1.join(','); Or if it's a complex array consider JSON:
JSON.stringify(array1); 
The way I did this was to create the array in JavaScript as a delimited (~) string & then I used the explode php function to load into an array.
GetPaginationPage? What happens when youconsole.log(array1)?GetPaginationPage(<?php echo $contestants_array; ?>);$contestants_array being an arrayGetPaginationPage(<?php echo json_encode($contestants_array); ?>);
