http_build_query with same name parameters

Question

Is there a way to build a query automatically with http_build_query using parameters with the same name?

If I do something like

array(\'         


        

Answer 1

This should do what you want, I had an api that required the same thing.

$vars = array('foo' => array('x','y'));
$query = http_build_query($vars, null, '&');
$string = preg_replace('/%5B(?:[0-9]|[1-9][0-9]+)%5D=/', '=', $query); //foo=x&foo=y
