在使用.each制定选项时，无法使用$ .post请求读取$ _POST值

Question

Formulated my options string using .each and sending it via .post to an external script.

        clicked.closest("form").find("input,textarea").each(function(){
            var input=$(this);
            if(index==1){
                options = "{"+input.attr("name")+":'"+input.val()+"'";
            }else if(index==no_inputs){
                options += ","+input.attr("name")+":'"+input.val()+"'}";
            }else{
                options += ","+input.attr("name")+":'"+input.val()+"'";
            }
            index++;
        });
        alert(options);
        $.post('../pages/ajax/add_orders.php',options,function(data){
            alert(data);
        });

..problem is when my php call script is..

    <?php
        print_r($_POST);
    ?>

I simply get an empty array with no values.

The first alert shows the formulated string correctly.

But the second one returns an empty value.

Any help greatly appreciated.

You're post needs to be an actual object, you're creating a string.

    clicked.closest("form").find("input,textarea").each(function(){
        var input=$(this);
        if(index==1){
            options[input.attr("name")] = input.val();
        }else if(index==no_inputs){
            options[input.attr("name")] = input.val();
        }else{
            options[input.attr("name")] = input.val();
        }
        index++;
    });

I think the above way will work.
