Example
Example #1 Simple use http_build_query ( )
$data = array('foo'=>'bar',
'baz'=>'boom',
'cow'=>'milk',
'php'=>'hypertext processor');
echo http_build_query($data); // foo=bar&baz=boom&cow=milk&php=hypertext+processor
echo http_build_query($data, '', '&'); // foo=bar&baz=boom&cow=milk&php=hypertext+processor
?>
Example #2 http_build_query() with numerically index elements.
$data = array('foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'boom', 'cow' => 'milk', 'php' =>'hypertext processor');
echo http_build_query($data) . "n";
echo http_build_query($data, 'myvar_');
?>
The above example will output:
0=foo&1=bar&2=baz&3=boom&cow=milk&php=hypertext+processor
myvar_0=foo&myvar_1=bar&myvar_2=baz&myvar_3=boom&cow=milk&php=hypertext+processor
Example #3 http_build_query() with complex arrays

'children'=>array('bobby'=>array('age'=>12,
