    I am wondering how do I make this code support arrays?

        1. "jp"]}]}]
          1. {size: 25, offset: 25, sortField: "intradaymarketcap", sortType: "DESC", quoteType: "EQUITY",…}
            1. offset:25
            2. query:{operator: "AND",…}
              1. operands:[{operator: "or", operands: [{operator: "EQ", operands: ["region",
          2. 0:{operator: "or", operands: [{operator: "EQ", operands: ["region", "jp"]}]}
            1. operands:[{operator: "EQ", operands: ["region", "jp"]}]
              1. 0:{operator: "EQ", operands: ["region", "jp"]}
                1. operands:["region", "jp"]
                  1. 0:"region"
                  2. 1:"jp"
                2. operator:"EQ"
            2. operator:"or"
        2. operator:"AND"
      2. quoteType:"EQUITY"
      3. size:25
      4. sortField:"intradaymarketcap"
      5. sortType:"DESC"
      6. topOperator:"AND"
      7. userId:"HFEELK3VBE3KPE4MGEA6PZTXXL"
      8. userIdType:"guid"

    so what i do

    $url = 'http://api.example.com/api';

$parameters =
  [
   'size' => 25,
   'offset' => 50,
   'sortField' => 'intradaymarketcap',
   'sortType' => 'DESC',
   'quoteType' => 'EQUITY',
   'topOperator' => 'AND',
   'query' => array(
           'operator' => 'AND',
           'operands'=> array(
               'operator' => 'or',
               'operands' => array(
                   'operator' => 'EQ',
                   'operands' =>  array("region","jp") 
               )
           )
       ),
   'userId' => 'HFEELK3VBE3KPE4MGEA6PZTXXL',
   'userIdType' => 'guid'
  ];
  $headers =
  [
   'Accept: application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01',
   'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5',
   'X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest',
   'Connection: keep-alive',
   'Pragma: no-cache',
   'Cache-Control: no-cache',
  ];
  $cookie = tmpfile();
  $ch = curl_init();
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.31 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.94 Safari/537.31');
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($parameters));
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
  $response = curl_exec($ch);
  curl_close($ch);

  print_r($response);

    Thank you Sarahk
    Convert to json string is it to use json_encode()?
    $myparameters= json_encode($parameters);

    It would be if you were using php but when they fill in the form you need javascript. Try something like this
    // Find our form in the DOM using its class name.
var form = document.getElementById('myform');

// Get the form data with our (yet to be defined) function.
var data = getFormDataAsJSON(form);

    I just re-read your first post - are you sending info from your server to another website?
    If so, then yes, you can use PHP. There are good examples online - here's a basic one

    
$url = 'https://siteiwanttosenddatato.com/contact/';
$data = array("name" => "Sarah", "country" => "NZ");
$data_string = json_encode($data);

$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data_string))
);

$result = curl_exec($ch);

    There's a lot going on on that page. Do you need to automate the running of it?
    I'd probably run an ajax hijacker over the page until I worked out exactly which call is getting the data. I haven't used curl on ajax forms so I'm no good there.
    You've checked to see if they have an api, right?

    i think the error is in the variable $parameters but i don't see where

    when i compare view source send

    {"size":25,"offset":0,"sortField":"intradaymarketcap","sortType":"DESC","quoteType":"EQUITY","topOperator":"AND","query":{"operator":"AND","operands":[{"operator":"or","operands":[{"operator":"EQ","operands":["region","jp"]}]}]},"userId":"HFEELK3VBE3KPE4MGEA6PZTXXL","userIdType":"guid"}
    PHP:
    with my variable $parameters, there are diferences

    {"size":25,"offset":50,"sortField":"intradaymarketcap","sortType":"DESC","quoteType":"EQUITY","topOperator":"AND","query":{"operator":"AND","operands":{"operator":"or","operands":{"operator":"EQ","operands":["region","jp"]}}},"userId":"HFEELK3VBE3KPE4MGEA6PZTXXL","userIdType":"guid"}
    PHP:
    i always have this result

    '{"error":{"result":null,"error":{"code":"internal-error","description":"STREAMED"}}}'
    Code (markup):

    I have some ideas for you:
    1. Try to execute a success request through jQuery.
    2. Try sending an empty request without a $parameters variable via php and examine the error message.
    3. The "internal-error" erros sounds like a wrong json object format. Try to remove a part of parametrs.

    Serialize the array before passing and unserialize it upon receiving, http://php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php
