Submit form input array with jquery ajax post

ajax, input, jquery, multidimensional-array, php

Solution

Try below snippet,I have not tested this but probably it should work.

Replace `var data = $('input[name^="data\\["]').serializeArray();` part with below snippet

var data = {};
$.each($('input[name^="data\\["]')​.serializeArray()​, function() {
    data[this.name] = this.value;
})​;

Try this it will solve the data coming in front issues

i have worked out this one

var data = {};
$.each($('select[name^="data\\["] , input[name^="data\\["]').serializeArray(), function() {
   var vv = this.name.replace(/data/, '' ).replace(/(\[[0-9]\])$/,'');
   data[vv] = this.value;           
});

Problem

Alright I want to submit a form thru jquery ajax. All the inputs are in an array and it is multidimensional. Its a dynamic form that uses the array key as the question id. The subkey is used for grouping the questions at a question set. ``` <form name="testing" id="testing" method="post"> <label>Question 1?</label> <input type="text" name="data[14][1]" id="" class="" value=""><br> <label>Question 2?</label> <input type="text" name="data[16][1]" id="" class="" value=""><br> <label>Question 1?</label> <input type="text" name="data[14][2]" id="" class="" value=""><br> <label>Question 2?</label> <input type="text" name="data[16][2]" id="" class="" value=""><br> <label>Question 3?</label> <select name="data[19]" id="" class=""> <option value="1">1</option> <option value="2">2</option> <option value="3">3</option> <option value="4">4</option> </select><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> ``` So that is my example html. Here is my example jquery: ``` $("#testing").submit(function() { var data = $('input[name^="data\\["]').serializeArray(); $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "upload.php", data: {internalform: "submit", data: data}, dataType : "text", success: function(returndata){ if(returndata == "no") { return false; } else { alert("clicked 1 " + returndata); } } }); return false; }); ``` Problem is I get this as a return array: ``` Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => data[14] [value] => sd ) [1] => Array ( [name] => data[16] [value] => s ) ) ``` But I want an array like this: ``` Array ( [14] => ddd [16] => ddd [19] => 4 ) ``` Im sure its simple but I'm missing something. I know why its doing it but I can't get it the way I want it/need it. Can someone help?
