Message:

I'm using Axios to send a POST data to PHP.
Within the call, I'm also sending a param which is a string that is converted into an array of objects using JOSN.parse():

params: {        

    'myParam': JSON.parse(string)

}

Everything works fine at this point. The string is properly converted into an array of objects.

When the param is being sent though, on the PHP side the array is still an array, but the objects have become strings.

Does someone have any clue about why?

My Answer:
This issue might be caused by the way the data is being sent from the frontend to the backend. When sending data from JavaScript to PHP using Axios, the data is typically serialized before being sent over the network. This serialization process can sometimes cause objects within an array to be converted into strings.

To resolve this issue, you can try sending the data as a JSON string directly without parsing it on the frontend. Then, on the PHP side, you can use `json_decode()` to convert the JSON string back into an array of objects.

Here's an example of how you can modify your code to send the data as a JSON string:

javascript
params: {
'myParam': JSON.stringify(arrayOfObjects)
}


And on the PHP side, you can decode the JSON string back into an array of objects:

php
$data = json_decode($_POST['myParam']);


By sending the data as a JSON string and decoding it on the PHP side, you should be able to maintain the array of objects without them being converted into strings.
