[Developers] Dealing With Arrays: PHP + MQL

[Will Merydith]

Thanks for var_dump, that help me understand the problem: mql expects arrays
to be defined with brackets, and there's no way to create the syntax by
building PHP arrays.  I'd need to add to metaweb.php to add the proper mql
syntax for arrays (which isn't a bad idea, and I would take it on if I knew
PHP as well as I know Java).

I switched to bypassing metaweb.php and simply sending an encoded url, and
then using JSON.php to decode the result.
