Yesterday at work, I was having trouble passing multiple variables through the URL as a $_GET variable. If you're printing (print_r()) your variables and they are just coming out as strings of 'Array', try this:
//first grab the end of string
// ?var1[]=31&var1[]=57&var2=add
$url = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']
//next use parse_str() to use the url to create the array
$theNewArray = parse_str($url);
print_r($theNewArray);
Well, I started over and reinstalled Drupal after a new patch was released. Like many people have said, the learning curve is an uphill battle. After reading up on many different articles and even after taking a month or so hiatus, I think I've figured out enough to get this blog into action and on the front lines. Just need to create some content, some external links, a fresh design and I'll finally have something fresh AND personal/slightly professional goin' on. But since there's much to do, I bid you adieu whoever is reading this lonely first post!
