Send multiply input field values to php by using ajax POST - php

Question

I am trying to send some dynamically created input field values to PHP to validate them and make some checks in the database in the background. I don't want to use submit form but just check the fields after click a button.
Html:
<input name="clockpick" class="input-mini timeinputfrom" data-format="hh:mm" type="text"></input>
<input name="clockpick" class="input-mini timeinputfrom" data-format="hh:mm" type="text"></input>
<button id="check" class="btn btn-primary">check</button></div>
The input boxes can be dynamically created depending how many are necessary. I get the values into jquery but don't find any possibility to send them via post to php.
Jquery:
$('#submit').on('click', function() {
var inputfield = $('input[name="clockpick"]');
$('input[name="clockpick1"]').each(function( index, element ) {
console.log( "Wert" + index + ": " + $( element ).val() );
});
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "productiontimevalidate.php",
data: ????
});
How can I send the values / array to PHP?

Answer 1

Another way would be to add the values to an array, and convert it to json for sending.
var allClockPicks = [];
$('input[name="clockpick1"]').each(function( index, element ) {
allClockPicks.push($(element).val());
});
Then, the ajax can send data as
data: {cp: JSON.stringify(allClockPicks)}
On the php side, you can json_decode them as below:
$cpArray = json_decode($_POST['cp'], true);

Answer 2

If your elements are inside <form class="my-form"> [elements...] </form>
You can use this short version:
<script>
$.post('/my/path/app.php', $('.my-form').serialize(), function(r) {
console.log(r);
},'json'); // parse response as JSON
</script>
app.php
<?php
echo json_encode(array('success' => true, 'post', $_POST));
?>
