Passing an HTML array in PHP via jQuery AJAX

I am stuck in a very common problem when working with HTML and jQuery AJAX formats, but I have not found a suitable solution that does not yet meet my specific needs ... I use the Codeigniter Framework. Here is the specific situation:

HTML - form with array, address [], for example:

<form id="addressForm" class="form-horizontal" method="post" action="">    
<div class="form-group">
    <div class="col-lg-9">
        <label class="control-label" for="address[name]">Full name</label>
        <input name="address[name]" type="text" placeholder="" class="form-control">
    </div>
    <div class="col-lg-3">
        <label class="control-label" for="address[email]">Email</label>
       <input name="address[email]" type="text" placeholder="" class="form-control">
    </div>
    </div>
... and so on

jQuery - AJAX call passing two PHP parameters: identifier and array of addresses are serialized ...

$.ajax({
    type: "post",
    url: "ajax/updateClientAddress",
    dataType: "json",
    data: {
    id: $('select[name="addresses"]').val(),
        address: $("[name^='address[']").serialize(),
    }
...

PHP - data processing and client update

...
 $addressID = $this -> input -> post('id');   // Correctly received
 $addressData = $this -> input -> post('address');
...

I would like to know what is missing or not in every part in order to access data in PHP as follows:

$client -> name = $addressData['name'];

Thanks in advance.
