parse_str
Parses string as if it were the query string passed via a URL and sets variables in the current scope (or in the array if result is provided).
Parameters
- string
-
The input string.
- result
-
If the second parameter result is present, variables are stored in this variable as array elements instead.
Warning:
Using this function without the result parameter is highly DISCOURAGED and DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.2.
Return Values
No value is returned.
Notes
Note:
All variables created (or values returned into array if second parameter is set) are already urldecoded.
Note:
To get the current QUERY_STRING, you may use the variable $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']. Also, you may want to read the section on variables from external sources.
