[nycphp-talk] url pass array as parameter

url would have to be 'galleryform.php?cart[0]=val1&cart[1]=val2'
(i'm not sure if you can use brackets [] in a URL either)

or something of that nature.  remember, a querystring has to consist  
of key=value pairs (or it can be just one value if a single 
parameter)...and it will automatically BE an array after it is passed 
to the receiving page -- $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
