How can i create a array with double GET variables

i have a form with some checkboxes. if i activate a ceckbox, jquery is sending the da开发者_C百科ta with the .serialize() function to a php file via ajax. The problem is, that jquery send some double parameters. Here is the Query:

area=26-50&area=51-75&area=76-100&area=100&std=1&std=3

How can i create a array like this:

array( 'area' => array(0 => '26-50',1 => '51-75',2 => '76-100'), std => array(0 => 1,1 => 3) )

PHP overwrites the last variable with a new one...

Thanks for the help!

greetings

[] notation will make it possible to transmit array data in a form.

Name the checkboxes in the form like this:

<input name="area[]" type="checkbox" value="51-75">

this should build an array of all selected check boxes.

PHP can support this if the key name is appended with []:

area[]=26-50&area[]=51-75&area[]=76-100&area[]=100&std[]=1&std[]=3
/*
Array
(
    [area] => Array
        (
            [0] => 26-50
            [1] => 51-75
            [2] => 76-100
            [3] => 100
        )

    [std] => Array
        (
            [0] => 1
            [1] => 3
        )

)
