If you are using checkboxes or a multi-select list box, then a comma-separated set of values is what you get automatically from html. What you are doing is perfectly fine. If you generate an array in your javascript in some other way, you could generate comma-separated string and assign it to a hidden field, and use split() on the server in the same way.

(Of course, if the string values you need to pass contain commas, this would screw up your simple plan.)
