Passing jquery array to PHP with AJAX

Question

having a bit of an issue with sending a jQuery array to a PHP file. I've looked at similar questions on here, but mine has other elements to the data variable being sent. Here's the code:

var data = 'type='+e+'&offset=' + all_dates_offset + '&filters=' + filters;
$.ajax({
    url: "pos_jobs.php", 
    type: "POST", 
    cache: false,
    data:data,
    dataType:"json",
    success: function(html){
        //Do Something
    }
});

For the data, 'e' and 'all_dates_offset' are standard variables, whereas 'filters' is an array. On the PHP side of things, I was hoping I could just use something like $_POST['filters'][0], but that is returning a null value.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

data: {type: e, offset: all_dates_offset, filters: filters}, — Ja͢ck
