Answer 2

Try this:
<?php
$sentido[1]="ver";
$sentido[2]="tocar";
$sentido[3]="oir";
$sentido[4]="gustar";
$sentido[5]="oler";
echo json_encode($sentido);
And:
$.getJSON('array.php', function(sentido) {
console.log(sentido);
});

You'll need to return the array from your PHP code as JSON, using the json_encode function. Then, in your jQuery code, specify a json dataType so that it's implicitly converted and passed to the callback function as an array:
var js_array=new Array();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "array.php",
success: function(response) {
js_array=response
},
dataType: 'json'
});

Use the standard JSON notation. It serializes objects and arrays. Then print it, fetch it on the client and parse it.
On the server:
echo json_encode($sentido);

On the client, this is specially easy if you use the jQuery function for ajax that expect JSON-encoded objects, and parses them for you:
$.getJSON('address/to/your/php/file.php', function(sentidos) {
alert(sentidos[0]); // It will alert "ver"
alert(sentidos[1]); // It will alert "tocar"
});
It uses GET but this most probably what you need.
