How to get form variables with special characters in PHP?

Really newbie question :)

I have a form that is:

<form class="contactform">
<input class="text" type="text" name="store_signup_form[name]"  />
<input type="submit" class="but" value="Try it!" /> 
</form>

If im post the data like this:

$.ajax({
url: urlsendMail,
type: 'post',
data: $('.contactform').serialize()

...

How can get these variables in PHP? Im trying but is not working:

$email = $_POST["store_signup_form'[name]'"];

Thanks

Try $_POST["store_signup_form[name]"] or $_POST["store_signup_form"]["name"].

Doing name="store_signup_form[name]" is how you send arrays in POST data. PHP handles this as such. That means that $_POST['store_signup_form'] is actually an array! So, you can just do:

$email = $_POST['store_signup_form']['name'];
