无法通过jQuery ajax发布Javascript数组

Question

I am extremely reluctant to ask this question as I know it is something really stupid I am missing, but I simply cannot get this to work. Code below:

<script>

var formArray = new Array();
formArray['start'] = "one";
formArray['stopat'] = "two";
formArray['stop_at'] = "three";

$('#my_button').click(function() {
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "scheduler.php",
        data: formArray,
        success: function(response){

            console.log(response);

        }
    });
});
</script>

Server side PHP Script scheduler.php

<?php

    print_r($_POST);

?>

All I get back logged to the console is an empty array:

Array
(
)

If I console.log formArray within the click function it shows the complete array just fine. So why is it not posting it to my PHP file?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Changing Array() to Object() would work as well.

You would get:

Array
(
    [start] => one
    [stopat] => two
    [stop_at] => three
)
