You *can* do it, just use the xxx[][] syntax, like:

http://www.example.com/index.php?test[1][hello]=tiger&test[1][test]=testing&test[2][]=a&test[2][]=test

would become:

$_GET['test'] = array (
	'1' => array (
		'hello' => 'tiger',
		'test' => 'testing'
	),
	'2' => array (
		'a',
		'test'
	)
);

Technically the [] syntax shouldn't be used, but it in the real world it 
works and can save a lot of headaches.
