Parses an array into a valid, rawurlencoded query string.

This differs from http_build_query() as we need to rawurlencode() (instead of urlencode()) all query parameters.

Parameters

$query: The query parameter array to be processed, e.g. $_GET.

$parent: Internal use only. Used to build the $query array key for nested items.

Return value

A rawurlencoded string which can be used as or appended to the URL query string.
