jQuery pass array through post

I am working on using jQuery to submit a form without having to refresh a page which I am new at. So far i have everything working except i have a dynamic amount of dropdown menus which would be named loot[0], loot[1], etc. however i can not get the loot[] variable to pass through the jQuery.

Here is the dropdown

<select class="search" name="loot[]" id="loot[]">
    <option class="search" value="">--</option>';
        $stmt = $conn->query("SELECT * FROM re_tbllootlist WHERE active = 1 ORDER BY LootName");
            while($row = $stmt->fetch()){
                echo "<option class='search' value='".$row["LootKey"]."'>".$row["LootName"]."</option>";
            }
</select>

More dropdowns are added with jQuery which would create the loot[0], loot[1], etc.

Which then would be added to the post data in jQuery with this:

post_data = {
    'info_planet'       : $('select[name=planet]').val(), 
    'info_mob'      : $('input[name=mob]').val(),
    'info_x_axis'       : $('input[name=x_axis]').val(),
    'info_y_axis'       : $('input[name=y_axis]').val(),
    'info_description'      : $('textarea[name=description]').val(),
    'info_loot'     : $('select[name=loot[]]').val()
};

I have tried several things to get this to work however i can not get this to work.

jQuery cannot recognize this selector select[name=loot[]] because of [].
If you look in your developer console, you will see the following error:

Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: select[name=loot[]]

Just enclose the name in quotes like this

$('select[name="loot[]"]').val()
