sending arrays in _GET in php

php gives the ability to send arrays from the _GET.

example:

test.php?var1=abc&arr[0]=1&arr[3]=test

will output:

Array
(
    [var1] => abc
    [arr] => Array
        (
            [0] => 1
            [3] => test
        )

)

is this consider bad coding?

No, it's usual practice. Also it's natural practice for sending selects with size greater than one.

Yes, it is a bad thing to do, and its also really bad for your websites SEO. It quickly gets really confusing if you put too much in the querystring. Keep it Simple!

No.

That looks fine.

You can even do:

test.php?var1=abc&arr[]=1&arr[]=test

Which would output:

Array
(
    [var1] => abc
    [arr] => Array
        (
            [0] => 1
            [1] => test
        )

)
