I'm using ajax to submit a multipart form with array, text fields and files.
I append each VAR to the main data as so
var attachments = document.getElementById('files');
var data= new FormData();
for (i=0; i< attachments.files.length; i++){
data.append('file', attachments.files[i]);
console.log(attachments.files[i]);
data.append ('headline', headline);
data.append ('article', article);
data.append ('arr', arr);
data.append ('tag', tag);
than I use the ajax function to send it to a PHP file to store inside sql DB.
$.ajax({
type: "post",
url: 'php/submittionform.php',
cache: false,
processData: false,
contentType: false,
data: data,
success: function(request) {$('#box').html(request); }
})
But on the PHP side, the arr variable, which is an array appears as a string.
When I don't send it with ajax as Form data but use the simple $.POST option I do get it as an array on the PHP side, but then I can't send the files as well.
any solutions?

You can do 2 things:
1. Convert it to a JSON string, then parse it in PHP (recommended)
JS
var json_arr = JSON.stringify(arr);
PHP
$arr = json_decode($_POST['arr']);
2. Serialize the data with, then deserialize in PHP
JS
// Use or any other delimiter you want
var serial_arr = arr.join("");
PHP
$arr = explode("", $_POST['arr']);
