I have tried to pass array data to the PHP script with request:

script.php?page=7&filter[key]=value

but didn't receive it in the script. Can I do so and if no - how can I pass array with HTTP GET?

Can you post the code to generate the request? –  ethrbunny Sep 28 '12 at 11:21
    
Simply try URL in browser :) –  Dmytro Zarezenko Sep 28 '12 at 11:21
    
Are you wanting to pass a whole array or just one value? –  ethrbunny Sep 28 '12 at 11:22

Can you try: filter[]=value1&filter[]=value2 and see what you get on PHP side.. ? –  Thrustmaster Sep 28 '12 at 11:23

You can definitely pass array from url and to get the value on php page,

$testvar = $_GET['filter'];
echo $testvar['key'];

and just out of curiosity i tried to $_GET['filter']['value'] and it too worked !!!

and if you want to pass multiple array vals, you can use http_build_query

Yes you will get those value in an array on script.php page

Just try to print the array value in the script.php page.

print_r($_GET['filter']);

you have to just pass the data like this

script.php?page=7&filter=value

and use is_array() for checking that incoming data is array or not like this

is_array($_GET['filter'])

http://php.net/manual/en/function.is-array.php

just pass the array value in it. like this &filter=<php $array_value; ?> –  Yogesh Suthar Sep 28 '12 at 11:37
    
and how it will look in the URL? :) In browser for example. –  Dmytro Zarezenko Sep 28 '12 at 11:38
