I have an object that looks like this

var obj = {
 p1 : true,
 p2 : true,
 p3 : false
}

I am looking to try and pass this object as part of a post request.

however on the other end (in php) all I get is

> 
> [object Object] 
> 
> 
> 

How can I send an object via post?

basically what I am trying to do is

I have an input that is hidden and is created like so

`<input id="obj" type="hidden" name="obj[]">`

which is part of a hidden form.

when a button is pressed I have

```
$(#obj).val(obj);
$('form').submit();

```

Please no suggestions to use ajax as I must do it this way as it is to download a dynamically created file.
