Post this as a string separated with some delimiter.

use .join() to join the array

var strJoinedArray = all_legattee_list.join(',');

and in your php code split the string using , and retrieve the values.

Works only if array elements cannot contain the delimiter.

you have to use all_legattee_list[] as name of your parameter, something like this:

$.post("...", "all_legattee_list[]=mohit&all_legattee_list[]=jain", ...);

dude i dont know abt the length of the array(it can be from 10, max).. i m havin 4 arrays that i have to post.. dont u thing this is insane way to do that...

I don't see how many arrays you have, for simple few elements it's not that bad to do, for many - maybe try using 'all_legattee_list[]' as element name in params object? my example was just a tip what kind of param name you need to use so PHP would use it as array...

For example, like this: Serializing to JSON in jQuery. Of course the server would have to support JSON deserialization, but many server-side languages already do.
