优化AJAX数据传输：在PHP中正确接收嵌套数组与复杂参数

// 原始的查询字符串格式数组数据
var itemDataString = "item[]=9&item[]=1&item[]=2&item[]=3&item[]=4&item[]=5&item[]=6&item[]=7&item[]=8";

// 其他参数
var otherParameters = {
    "host": "host name",
    "session": "current session",
    "timestamp": "time stamp"
};

// 组合请求数据
let requestData = {
    other_parameters: otherParameters,
    data: itemDataString
};

// 发送AJAX请求
$.ajax({
    data: requestData,
    type: 'POST',
    url: '/api/call'
});

// PHP控制器中实际接收到的数据（示例）
array:2 [
  "other_parameters" => array:3 [
      "host" => "host name"
      "session" => "current session"
      "timestamp" => "time stamp"
  ]
  "data" => "item[]=1&item[]=2&item[]=3&item[]=5&item[]=4&item[]=6&item[]=7&item[]=8&item[]=9"
]

// 期望的PHP数据结构
array:2 [
    "other_parameters" => array:3 [
        "host" => "host name"
        "session" => "current session"
        "timestamp" => "time stamp"
    ],
    "data" => [
        "item" => array:9 [
            0 => "1"
            1 => "2"
            2 => "4"
            3 => "3"
            4 => "5"
            5 => "6"
            6 => "7"
            7 => "8"
            8 => "9"
        ]
    ]
]

<?php
// 假设这是从AJAX请求中接收到的 $_POST 数据
$receivedData = [
    "other_parameters" => [
        "host" => "host name",
        "session" => "current session",
        "timestamp" => "time stamp"
    ],
    "data" => "item[]=1&item[]=2&item[]=3&item[]=5&item[]=4&item[]=6&item[]=7&item[]=8&item[]=9"
];

// 获取需要解析的字符串
$itemDataString = $receivedData['data'];

// 定义一个空数组用于存储解析结果
$parsedItemArray = [];

// 使用 parse_str 解析字符串到 $parsedItemArray 数组
parse_str($itemDataString, $parsedItemArray);

// 将解析后的数组替换原始的字符串数据
$receivedData['data'] = $parsedItemArray;

// 现在 $receivedData 结构符合预期
echo '<pre>';
print_r($receivedData);
echo '</pre>';
