How to implement something like PHP's http_build_query and the reverse in javascript?

Question

\'bar\',
              \'baz\'=>\'boom\',
              \'cow\'=>\'milk\',
              \'php\'=>\'hypertext processor\');

         


        

Answer 1

If you're using jQuery, then you can use the jQuery.param() function:

var obj = { "foo":"bar", "baz":"boom", "php":"hypertext processor" };
var str = jQuery.param(obj);
alert(str); // should be "foo=bar&baz=boom&php=hypertext+processor"

It can serialise some complex arrays too.
