What is the purpose of this operation? Editing specific elements in that array? Because you can do it directly on the array... — Zakaria

One answer at the post in the link you gave suggested that you use json_encode() and json_decode() functions. Have you tried using those? — Furicane

I'm repeating my answer from your other question:

Why don't you use json_encode? Just do

$str=json_encode($array);

Then, send the data, and at the other end do

$array=json_decode($str);

You may consider using strtok or explode function, with parameters as &39avfy;. Then use the explode function again with parameters "=".

Are you trying to pass an array to POST or GET data, if yes, why not using serialize ?
