If you want to pass a JavaScript object/hash (ie. an associative array in PHP) then you would do:

$.post('/url/to/page', {'key1': 'value', 'key2': 'value'}); 

If you wanna pass an actual array (ie. an indexed array in PHP) then you can do:

$.post('/url/to/page', {'someKeyName': ['value','value']}); 

If you want to pass a JavaScript array then you can do:

$.post('/url/to/page', {'someKeyName': variableName});
