This is fairly straightforward. In your JS, all you would do is this or something similar:

var array = ["thing1", "thing2", "thing3"];

var parameters = {
  "array1[]": array,
  ...
};

$.post(
  'your/page.php',
  parameters
)
.done(function(data, statusText) {
    // This block is optional, fires when the ajax call is complete
});

In your php page, the values in array form will be available via $_POST['array1'].
