I think we should sent in this format 

var array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
$.post('/controller/MyAction', $.param({ data: array }, true), function(data) {});

Its already mentioned in Pass array to mvc Action via AJAX

It worked for me

This is fairly straightforward. In your JS, all you would do is this or something similar:

var array = ["thing1", "thing2", "thing3"];

var parameters = {
  "array1[]": array,
  ...
};

$.post(
  'your/page.php',
  parameters
)
.done(function(data, statusText) {
    // This block is optional, fires when the ajax call is complete
});

In your php page, the values in array form will be available via $_POST['array1'].

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});

Here it goes an example:

$.post("test.php", { 'choices[]': ["Jon", "Susan"] });

Hope it helps.
