<br>
If I'm sending single valued data over web, eg. a=111, b=222, c=333,<br>
then I can do <br>
http://.../xxx.cgi?a=111&b=<wbr>222&c=333<br>
<br>
How do I send array data, like A[1]=111, A[2]=222, A[3]=333 to a CGI<br>
script? I don't think I can do something like<br>
http://.../xxx.cgi?A[1]=111&A[<wbr>2]=222&A[3]=333<br>
Or, can I?<br>
<br>
I have seen places where a same variable is repeated, eg.<br>
http://.../xxx.cgi?A=111&A=<wbr>222&A=333<br>
but that means the CGI script has to build the array.<br>
