使用AJAX / JSON将对象数组传递给PHP

Question

I need to pass a Javascript array of objects to PHP. Found about 3 solutions on the internet, but none of them worked for me. The array looks like this (in Chrome dev console):

And my current AJAX call looks like this:

function consolidate() {
        var studentsstring = JSON.stringify(students);
        $.ajax({
             type: "POST",  
             url: "writefile.php",
             dataType: "json", 
             data: {students: students},
             success: function(data) {
                  alert(data);
             }
        });
    }

And the PHP file looks like this:

<?php
print($_POST['students']);
?>

Currently, when I hit the "consolidate" button, nothing happens. No alert is shown. Chrome dev reports no errors in the code.

Answer 1

Oh, I'm dumb. Too many hours of coding. The line should have been:

data: {students: studentsstring},

and now it works. Thanks all.
