Since I'm using PHP4, I don't have the oh-so-snazzy build_query_string(),
but for academia's sake, what does *it* do when handed a multi-dim array?


Thanks,

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.
