parse_str
Parses the string into variables
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
void parse_str ( string str [, array &arr] )
Parses str as if it were the query string passed via a URL and sets variables in the current scope.
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 outside of PHP.
Note:
The magic_quotes_gpc setting
affects the output of this function, as parse_str() uses
the same mechanism that PHP uses to populate the $_GET,
$_POST, etc. variables.
Parameters
- str
The input string.
- arr
If the second parameter arr is present, variables are stored in this variable as array elements instead.
Examples
Example 2425. Using parse_str()
<?php
$str = "first=value&arr[]=foo+bar&arr[]=baz";
parse_str($str);
echo $first; // value
echo $arr[0]; // foo bar
echo $arr[1]; // baz
parse_str($str, $output);
echo $output['first']; // value
echo $output['arr'][0]; // foo bar
echo $output['arr'][1]; // baz
?>
