php url query nested array with no index

Question

I\'m working with a third party API that receives several parameters which must be encoded like this:

text[]=Hello%20World&text[]=How%20are%20you?&ht         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

$params['text'][] = 'Hello World';
$params['text'][] = 'How are you?';
$params['html'][] = '
Just fine, thank you
';
foreach ($params as $key => $value) {
    foreach ($value as $key2 => $value2) {        
        $http_query.= $key . "[]=" . $value2 . "&";
    }
}
$http_query = substr($http_query, 0, strlen($http_query)-1); // remove the last '&'
$http_query = str_replace(" ", "%20", $http_query); // manually encode spaces
echo $http_query;
