title: Passing arrays via query string in wordpress
body: <p>I'm building an application using a significant amount of custom PHP running on top of Wordpress in which I pass arrays over via GET query parameters.  The query strings I generate look like this:</p>
  
  <p>http://mydomain.com/locations.php?filters&amp;f[184]=1&amp;f[197]=1&amp;f[235]=1&amp;f[912]=1&amp;setPage=1</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, wordpress strips the [ and ] from the query string leaving this:</p>
  
  <p>/locations.php?filters&amp;f184=1&amp;f197=1&amp;f235=1&amp;f912=1&amp;setPage=1</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance,
  Dave</p>
