Passing JavaScript array to input in PHP - javascript

I'm trying to pass an array from JavaScript to a PHP input. I want to pass my array as an array inside my input, not a string.
My array is this:
["0_1","0_2"]
And this is how I pass my array to my input:
$('#movefile_id').val(JSON.stringify(allfiledata));
Can I pass the array to the input file without making it a string?

read this:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify
you can convert your array to JSON
var arrayJavascript = JSON.stringify(["0_1","0_2"]);
and with PHP, read this:
http://php.net/manual/es/function.json-decode.php
$arrayPHP = json_decode($_POST["arrayJavascript"]);

Here is the step by step process given below
1- Covert the Javascript Array to JSON
2- Post that JSON string to PHP using jquery post or jquery get
This is possible through only using Ajax. Because javscript is a Client side language and PHP is a server side language.We can only connect both using Ajax.

Passing Javascript Object Array to MVC Controller w/ POST

So I have an array of javascript objects that is constructed using JQuery across multiple table rows. It has the following form:
obj_rows = [
{"param1":value11, "param2":value12, "param3":value3},
{"param1":value21, "param2":value22, "param3":value23},
//more objects with the same parameters
]
What I would like is a way for an AJAX POST request to a Controller method SomeController/SomeAction that takes in this array and can iterate over all objects. I was trying to figure out a way to do this using JSON, but to no success.
NOTE: Even though I am using MVC, I do not have a model class corresponding to these objects. Ideally, I would like to end up with some structure like a List of 3 Tuples.
actually the solution is to take the object and stringify it into a string and then send it over the ajax request.
just do:
JSON.stringify(obj_rows)
and you will get on the other endpoint an array (stringified of course), you have to parse it back and you will have your array.
You can use javascript method JSON.stringify() to convert you object into a string and assign its result to a hidden field in your view and once you recieve this in your controller you can then deserialize it to an object or parse it yourself.

convert json encoded array to javascript array

i was trying to get the location of the particular device .i am getting the location but can't merge with javascript .
My AJAX is returning JSOn Encoded Array Like
[{"title":"Thudi","lat":"11.0812178","lng":"76.94155735"}]
in Java script variable i have to assign this value like -
var markers = [{"title":"NGGO ","lat":"11.0888676","lng":"76.94175196"}];
i tried many methods to convert json array to js variable, array but i am not getting the exact answer
Can you describe you question more clear?
I guess your question is convert returning JSON stirng to JS Object.
JSON.parse(/*returnining json string*/)

Converting JS object to json string using JSON.stringify

I have four textboxes which contain json string which I create by calling json.stringify on various js objects..
eg. '["users.name","users.username"]' (This is the value of one textbox)
What I want to do is create a single json string from these four json strings and send them to the backend using POST..
So I create a object and add them like this
tmp = {}
tmp["columns"] = $("#sc").val();
/*adding more data....*/
$.ajax("/api/backend", {
data: JSON.stringify(tmp),
/* more ajax code...*/
});
The data that gets sent is of the following format..
{"columns":"[\"users.name\",\"users.username\"]"}
This is not a string but a json object...
Now when I do the following..
tmp1= JSON.stringify(tmp)
and Post using..
$.ajax("/api/backend", {
data: JSON.stringify(tmp1),
/*more code below..*/
The data that gets sent is of the following format and is string..
"{\"columns\":\"[\\\"users.name\\\",\\\"users.username\\\"]\"}"
This string has a lot of '\' characters which needs to be taken into account in the backend.
Is this the right way of handling my problem or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
It depends on what you are trying to achieve.
If you want to send to the server a JSON that combines all JSON in your inputs, you'd better parse the JSON in your inputs, prior to adding them to you tmp object. That way, you get an object containing objects, rather than an object containing JSON strings.
Retrieving JSON from inputs would be like this:
tmp["columns"] = JSON.parse($("#sc").val());
See that you are storing objects within your tmp object, rather than JSON strings. Then, you can just send that object as JSON to your server.
Thus, your server would receive this:
"{\"columns\":\"[\"users.name\",\"users.username\"]\"}"
Which, I believe, looks much better. I hope that helps.

How to send multidimensional array from JavaScript to PHP in query string

I am using following code:
window.location.assign("index.php?module=pengu_dispatch&action=cover_letter&value="+list);
Here I want to send multidimensional array in query string to the PHP file.
Using JSON stringify function I converted array into string and send, but on PHP side after decoding I am not getting the complete array.
Please let me know what I could be doing wrong
You can put json in a GET param by url encoding it.
url = 'http://whatever/some.php?param='+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(list))
And then in php read it like this
$list = json_decode($_GET['param']);
Be careful about the size of your list because URL's have a size limit of about 1~2kb. If you want to send a large amount of data you have to use POST.

Function to convert GridView and Repeater in a JSON string

I need a JavaScript function which will take the ASP.NET Repeater as input. The function must then parse through the object and return the data in the rows of the object as JSON.
Then, I can send the JSON back to the server to be interpreted/parsed and saved to the DB.
your best bet is probably traversing the elements rendered by the Repeater and gathering the values into a javascript object. when you have that you can use json2's stringify() or jquery's serialize() or something similar to produce a json representation.
