[wp-testers] A Question About 2.7/2.8 argument system

[Paul Robinson]

Lol, sorry. I found out that if you are developing a plugin & you are using
a system that allows the definition of arguments like showposts=4&cat=1 etc
you can define arrayed values in the query string using square brackets like
this showposts[post]=1&showposts[post2]=2&cat=1. According to the same site
I found that from though it is impossible to provide multiple values to one
parameter... I wish there was a way though because that way I found still
doesn't work for what I want to do...

Anyone else got any ideas. I know you can get multiple categories in
wordpress like this cat=1,2,3,4 but I've never figured out how WP does
that... I'm assuming it uses parse_str() to parse the query string to
variables & then explodes cat like explode(',', $cat); type of thing. Is
that right?

Paul.
