Hi, I want to create a search module in which I have multiple value for one field like category = Movies and Drama
Html
<form action="search" method="GET">
<select name=category[]>
<option value="movie">Movies</option>
<option value="drama">Drama</option>
</select>
<button name="search">
</form>
so my current url look like
http://localhost/projectname/search?category%5B%5D=movies&category%5B%5D=drama
Actually it should be look like
http://localhost/projectname/search?category=movies,drama
Can anyone help me to get this work as expected.
Thanks in advance
@sanjay that is how browsers pass an array by default to the URL. If you want a custom format, you need to implement some JS that turns the array into a string and push that as the URL.
Here's a good thread with some examples on how to take care of this both in the frontend and backend.
i think doing that might give you a headache, normally in php you can easily get all category by doing $_POST['category'] afaik.. with your way you will have to do extra work (well explode) but also JS implementation as mentioned above.. if there is no reason i would leave it
try to use javascript qs library. At least this is what i use to create query strings
