Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-08 16:18:59] php at colin dot guthr dot ie Description: ------------ According to RFC3986, which I beleive to be the latest in a long line of RFCs on URI syntaxt, it is illegal to use square brackets in the search string. There is a comment on the PHP manual page for rawurlencode that states that these are now permitted but extensive RFC reading and googling fails to back this up for me. >From what I can gather they should be encoded as %5B and %5D. Here is the pseudo fix: str_replace(array('[',']'), array('%5B','%5D'), http_build_query(array('hello' => array('interesting','eh')))) The fix is quite simple and some small changes need to be made to http.c - I've not got a patch unfortunatly, but it should only take a short while to fix and would probably take just as long as a patch review ;) Reproduce code: --------------- echo http_build_query(array('hello' => array('interesting','eh')))."\n"; Expected result: ---------------- hello%5B0%5D=interesting&hello%5B1%5D=eh Actual result: -------------- hello[0]=interesting&hello[1]=eh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36656&edit=1
