ajax - Passing php objects to $.post() -

i pass 2 php objects data, are, $.post.

        $(function() {             $("button").click(function() {                   $.post("fight.php",{player: "<?php $player;?>", enemy: "<?php $enemy; ?>"},function(result) {                     $("#displayfight").html(result);                 });             });         }); 

$player, $enemy 2 different objects few properties each. pass them whole objects are, fight.php can deal them.

i've tried serialize, no avail:

{player: $("<?php $player ?>").serialize()} 

how can this?

note: methods i've tried, either 'unknown identifier' or $_post comes out empty on receiving page.

edit: json_encode part works, decoding fails. on receiving page:

$player = json_decode($_post["player"]) 

fails , returns error: json_decode() expects parameter 1 string, array given

you need use json_encode, this:

$.post("fight.php",{     player: <?php echo json_encode($player);?>,      enemy: <?php echo json_encode($enemy);?> }, ... ); 

note there no quotes around <?php ?> tags; json_encode add them automatically if required.

apart that, need aware of requirements json_encode imposes: importantly, if objects contain string content (either property or property of sub-objects) these strings must encoded in utf-8.
