PHP array to text and back to array
Posted on 2014-02-18
i want to send an entire POST array thru a single (text) API GET param and
process it (remotely in the API)
what is the best way to "encode" or "compress" or "convert" a PHP array into a text string
such that it can be easily re-constituted back to the original array at the other end.
thanks
