External filter form with Datatable - php

Question

I have a form that I want to send all fields to serverside using Datatables and filter the data.
I found how to send individual parameters using:
url: './demo2/contents/orden/get.php',
type: 'POST',
data: function(d) {
d.comercial = $("#comercial").val();
}
but how can I send the complete form, I assume it can be done using something similar:
url: './demo2/contents/orden/get.php',
type: 'POST',
data: function(d) {
var frm_data = $('#searchFrom').serializeArray();
$.each(frm_data, function(key, val) {
d[val.name] = val.value;
});
}
To get the parameters in get.php I am using
$comercial = $_REQUEST["comercial"];

If anybody needs help with this. I found the solution. You can get the forms post values using the same datatable get file without have to post again.. I wasnt aware of this.
here is the code:
$('#kt_search').on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var frm_data = $('#searchFrom').serializeArray();
console.log(frm_data);
$.each(frm_data, function(key, val) {
myData[val.name] = val.value;
});
table.table().draw();
});
If you need to send an array because you have a field with multiple selection, you can use the following. Hope it helps somebody.
$('#kt_search').on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var frm_data = $('#searchFrom').serializeArray();
//POST VALUES ARE SENT USING SAME GET FILE NO NEED TO POST AGAIN
var multiple = {};
var i = 0;
$.each(frm_data, function(key, val) {
var str = val.name;
//CHECK IF FIELD NAME FINISHES WITH MULTIPLE
if (str.match("_multiple")){
if (typeof multiple[str] == "undefined") {
multiple[str] = new Array();
i = 0;
}
multiple[str][i] = val.value;
i++;
myData[val.name] = multiple[str];
}else{
myData[val.name] = val.value;
}
});
table.table().draw();
});
