Getting array param out of query string with PHP
( NOTE: This is a follow up to a previous question, How to pass an array within a query string? , where I asked about standard methods for passing arrays within query strings.) I now have some PHP code that needs to consume the said query string- What kind of query string array formats does PHP recognize, and do I have to do anything special to retrieve the array? The following doesn't seem to work: Query string: ?formparts=[a,b,c] PHP: $myarray = $_GET["formparts"]; echo gettype($myarray) result: string Your query string should rather look like this: ?formparts[]=a&formparts[]=b&formparts[]=c
