Question

How can I send JSON data from Javascript in the browser, to a server and have PHP parse it there?

Hello @kartik,

PHP has a built in function called json_decode(). Just pass the JSON string into this function and it will convert it to the PHP equivalent string, array or object.

In order to pass it as a string from Javascript, you can convert it to JSON using

JSON.stringify(object);

or a library such as Prototype

Hope it helps!!

Thank You!!
