there any standard functions?

Same for HTML POST requests.

HTTP GET and POST requests are formatted the same, just sent in different ways. I don't know if there's a function; I'd just use:

<?php
$myArray = array(
	'apples' => 'oranges',
	'pears' => 'peaches',
);

$queryParts = array();
foreach( $myArray as $key=>$value ) {
	$queryParts[] = "$key=$value";
}

$query = implode( '&', $queryParts );

// For GET, use e.g.:
$data = file_get_contents( "http://www.example.com/?$query"; );

// For POST, pass $query to curl_setopt for an HTTP POST (see CURL docs)
?>

Disclaimer: I typed this from memory and haven't tested it, so there might be minor errors, but you get the picture.
