Currently I have this url with paramanters. The $filter is in string format and rawurlencoded. Is it possible to use an array instead of string for the $filter? Like array('groups'=>array('11','22','33'))?
Here's a sample code that is working.
$endpoint = 'https://api.com/queries';
$filter = "groups:['11', '22', '33']";
$url = $endpoint . '?filter=' . rawurlencode($filter);
It produces this url:
https://api.com/queries?filter=groups%3A%5B%2711%27%2C%20%2722%27%2C%20%2733%27%5D
Try to use urlencode() function just after to use json_encode() function like this :
$endpoint = 'https://api.com/queries';
$filterArray = array('groups' => array('11', '22', '33'));
$filter = urlencode(json_encode($filterArray));
$url = $endpoint . '?filter=' . $filter;
After this you can decode the URL-encoded JSON string and convert it back to an array like this :.
$filterString = $_GET['filter'];
$filterArray = json_decode(urldecode($filterString), true);
https://api.com/queries?filter=%7B%22groups%22%3A%5B%2211%22%2C%2222%22%2C%2233%22%5D%7D but still not working. I've tried decoding it using burp suite and it has curly bracket on it. https://api.com/queries?filter={"groups":["11","22","33"]}
