ID: 50407 Comment by: adam dot zivner at gmail dot com Reported by: php at gimme dot org Summary: http_build_query() on empty array Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: URL related Operating System: Win PHP Version: 5.2.11 Block user comment: N New Comment: Applications often make distinction between empty and not set. Example: Set filter to '': http://example.com/articles/?filter= Don't change filter, get it from cookies: http://example.com/articles/ But of course, this could be wrong way of using this. Is suggested explanation part of some standard/specification?
