parse_str

Description

Parses str as if it were the query string passed via an URL and sets variables in the current scope. If the second parameter arr is present, variables are stored in this variable as an array elements instead.

Example 1. Using parse_str() $str = "first=value&second[]=this+works&second[]=another"; parse_str($str); echo $first; /* prints "value" */ echo $second[0]; /* prints "this works" */ echo $second[1]; /* prints "another" */
