not true (he does mention that print_r() does not show these values,
given that he has run print_r() on $_POST its fair to assume that he
would have noticed if his var were only 'half there' so to speak),

here's a url format I use in a generic CMS thingy:

?a=512&e[n]=xxx&e[f][kf][MY_ID]=1&e[f][kf][YOUR_ID]=2&e[f][n]=xyz&e[f][kf][CHILD_ID]=3

the only problem I have is that I can max out the number of bytes
excepted in a GET request, I don't destiguish between POST/GET and it
works just as well via a post form.

arbitrary $_POST dump (simple):
Array
(
[a] => 512
[e] => Array
(
[n] => compoundpart
)

[PART_ID] =>
