http_build_query() in PHP5
I can’t tell how many times I need to pass some data via GET method to another PHP script and I always forget about this neat little function so I just do it like this (like a fool):
-
$arr = array('foo' => 'bar',
-
'baz' => 'boom',
-
'cow' => 'milk');
-
$query = array();
-
foreach ($arr as $k => $v) {
-
$query[] = $k . '=' . $v;
-
}
-
$query = implode('&', $query);
-
// foo=bar&baz=boom&cow=milk
When it’s so easy with the http_build_query() function:
-
$query = http_build_query($arr);
-
// foo=bar&baz=boom&cow=milk
This is also useful when using cURL to perform POST or GET calls.
Should it be join() instead of explode()?
It would also be cool to add urlencode() to that function I think.
It should have been implode(), not explode(). My bad.
