# Feature: #83334 - Add improved building of query strings {#feature-83334}

See [forge#83334](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/83334)

## Description {#description}

The method `\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\HttpUtility::buildQueryString()` has been added as an enhancement to the [PHP function](https://secure.php.net/manual/de/function.http-build-query.php) `http_build_query()`.
It implodes multidimensional parameter arrays and properly encodes parameter names as well as values to a valid query string.
with an optional prepend of `?` or `&` If the query is not empty, `?` or `&` are prepended in the correct sequence.
Empty parameters are skipped.

## Impact {#impact}

Parameter arrays can be safely transformed into HTTP GET query strings using the new method.
