jquery: post input values to PHP without serializing

Trying to do very simple thing.

Have too many of these fields:

<input name="itempriceqty0" /><input name="itemprice0" /><br />
<input name="itempriceqty1" /><input name="itemprice1" /><br />
<input name="itempriceqty2" /><input name="itemprice2" /><br />

etc...

Goal is to get their values in one PHP string of this format: itempriceqty0=itemprice0, itempriceqty1=itemprice1,itempriceqty2=itemprice3,etc...

Serializing with jquery gives a url formatted string, which I need to split many times with PHP to get rid of input names and other &= chars.

$.post('test.php', {
  itemprice: $('#itempricefieldswrapper :input').serialize() }, ...
);

What is the easiest way to handle it with jquery?

P.S. Googled everywhere. Need help. Thanks.

Do you know that you can use the following:

<input type="text" name="foo[]" value="field1" />
<input type="text" name="foo[]" value="field2" />

and then, if you do this:

var_dump($_POST['foo']);

you get:

array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(6) "field1"
  [1]=>
  string(6) "field2"
}

I'm not sure if that's relevant to what you want but it seems like it might be.

Something like this?

Give all your input elements to gather a class name, e.g. qty-input

Collect the values like this:

var values = '';
$('.qty-input').each(function(){
  values = values + this.name + '=' + this.value + ',' ;
});

You could look at json:

Convert form data to JavaScript object with jQuery

That post shows how you can read the form values into json and serialize it. You will need a json deserializer library in php of which im sure there's plenty to choose from.

(JSON: json_decode is built in right? Im not a php boi).
