How to receive a json object filled up with angularjs and sent by ajax to server side (PHP)?

Question

I have the following json object:

$scope.sellAccessories=
 [
 {"id": "1","name": "aa", "quantity": "3","total_price": "100"}
 ,
 {"id": "2","name": "bb", "quantity": "4","total_price": "200"}
 ,
 {"id": "3","name": "cc", "quantity": "5","total_price": "300"}
];

i sent the object using ajax as follow:

var options={
    type : "get",
    url : "../php/sell.php",
    data: {"function":"sellAccess","data":$scope.sellAccessories},
    dataType: 'json',
    async : false,
    cache : false,
    success : function(response,status){
        alert("success")
    },
    error:function(request,response,error){
        alert("error")
    }
};
$.ajax(options);

I tried to receive the data using $_GET['name'] but it didn't work

My php code:

$item_name=json_decode($_GET['name']);

i also, tried to do: $data=json_decode($_GET['data']);

but none of them works!

thanks in advance

You need to retrieve the data based on the url query. So for example if you need the JSON data then you would retrieve the JSON by doing

$jsonData = $_GET['data'];

Then you would have to process this JSON object and you can make it an array by using the PHP function json_decode like so

$arrayData = json_decode($jsonData, true);

Then you can traverse said data, as any other array.
