jquery ajax post serialize,javascript - jQuery .serialize() for post? - Stack Overflow
I am doing an ajax request through post that contains a forms variables.
the data for the ajax request looks like
data : {
somevar1: 'someval1',
somevar2: 'someval2',
somevar3: 'someval3',
somevar4: 'someval4',
form: FORMDATA
}
as you can see, as well as the basic form data I am also passing through some other data.
this means that I cannot use jquery .serialize()
I am wanting to end up with something that I can send through so on the other side I can just do
$_POST['form']['fieldname']
is there a built in function do do this?
or what would I need to do to create one?
the possibility of running a function on the form that does something like
function postArray(form){
var data = {};
var name, value = null;
$(form).children('textarea, input, select'){
name = this.name;
data.name = $(this).val();
}
return data;
}
over the form could work.
and having
data : {
somevar1: 'someval1',
somevar2: 'someval2',
somevar3: 'someval3',
somevar4: 'someval4',
form: postArray(form)
}
would it work?
I could use .serializeArray();
But on the other side I get
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[name] => name1
[value] => val1
),
[1] => Array
(
[name] => name2
[value] => val2
)
...
[8] => Array
(
[name] => name8
[value] => val8
)
)
Which is close, but that requires me to either
a: loop over the array and convert it to what I want
b: every time i use it loop over it to find the right key
