urllib.urlencode multidimensional dictionary

[celery6541]

Hi all,

I am trying to use urllib.urlencode to post a multidimensional dictionary to a php page.

This is the code I am using

test = {}
test['boom'] = {}
test['boom']['zoom'] = "bang"
 
server_params = urllib.urlencode(test)
 
response = urllib2.urlopen(server_url, server_params).read()
 

And if I do a print of the post variable from php my output is looking like this

Array
(
    [boom] => {\'zoom\': \'bang\'}
)
 

Only the first key of the dictionary is being preserved while everything underneath is being squished into a string.

Is there a way to preserve the entire structure of the dictionary?

Thanks!
