If your array has more then 1 dimension or is an associative array you should use JSON.

Json turns a complete array structure into a string. This string can easily send to your php application and turned back into a php array.

More information on json: http://www.json.org/js.html

var my_array = { ... };
var json = JSON.stringify( my_array );

In php you can decode the string with json_decode:

var_dump(json_decode($json));
