True. It is not proper way. But if you still want to pass such data using GET 
method then you can build Query string as shown below:

$cartStr='cart[0]=val1&cart[1]=val2';   // assuming that array keys are 
numeric.

This $cartStr string can be appended to URL where request is to be forwarded 
to. On that receiving page you can have that array in form of $_GET['cart']; 
which you can use for your purposes.

Remember if values in $cart is *sensitive* then neither GET nor POST is safe. 
Use session instead to store data on server only.
