Question

I have problem with send json by AJAX.

var data = [{"name": "Will", "surname": "Smith", "age": "40"},{"name": "Willow", "surname": "Smith", "age": "15"}];

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "ajax.php",
    dataType: "json",
    data: data,
    success: function(response)
    {
        alert(response);
    }
});

ajax.php

<?php
     echo json_encode($_POST);
?>

And ajax alert response is[object Object]

You have to convert data to string by JSON.stringify

You have to convert data to string by JSON.stringify method and place it into an object. Somehow like this:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "ajax.php",
    dataType: "json",
    data: {"data": JSON.stringify(data)},
    success: function(response)
    {
        alert(response);
    }
});

Then on server-side you can access passed data by $_POST['data']:

echo json_decode($_POST['data']);
