RackUtils HTTP query

Tiny package to build HTTP URL query string compatible with Rails app., _(*1)

Usage

This library produces output without explicit indices. As simple as that., _(*2)

``` php $vars = ['fruits' => ['apple', 'banana', 'orange']]; $query_string = \TechnicallyPhp\RackUtilsHttpQuery::build($vars); var_dump($query_string); // will output: "fruits[]=apple&fruits[]=banana&fruits[]=orange", <sub>(*3)</sub>

# Motivation

PHP stock [`http_build_query()`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.http-build-query.php) 
converts array into items with indices explicitly defined. 
This is not compatible with the way Rails applications parse requests. 

``` php
$vars = ['fruits' => ['apple', 'banana', 'orange']];
$query_string = http_build_query($vars);
var_dump($query_string); 
// will output: "fruits[0]=apple&fruits[1]=banana&fruits[2]=orange"
