On the php side:

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I’ve been having trouble passing a simple array through prototype’s Ajax.Request or Updater calls.
I’d constantly come up with php receiving the value as only the last element, or an [object Object] type.
My solution for it was slightly different from yours, but pretty much the same thing:

var something = [];
something[0] = “bimmer”;
something[1] = “empire”;
Ajax.Request(’ajax/process.php’, { method: ‘post’, parameters: { ’something[]’:something } } );

PHP ends up with an associative array of values -which is exactly what I needed/preferred. Thanks!
