Parse query string into an array (12 answers)

Closed 2 years ago.

I have a string like:

$q = "menu=true&submenu=true&pcode=123456&code=123456";

I want to get the value of pcode = 123456 and code = 123456.

How can I get this?

• Felix Kling: Where do you get the string from?

Answer 1

Use parse_str function if it's not from url (then use $_GET array)

https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-str.php

• corsiKa: +1 Even though this doesn't exactly address the stated concern, it certainly seems to be valid advice. We don't want Bobby Tables dropping in for tea.

Answer 2

Use explode to get array from a string.

explode('&',$q);

It will explode string on every & character and return pieces in an array.

Answer 3

See parse_str

Answer 4

 $q ="menu=true&submenu=true&pcode=123456&code=123456" ;
 // parse str values into an array called $pairs
 parse_str($q, $pairs);
 // loop through $pairs and display all values
 foreach ($pairs as $key => $val) {
 echo "$key => $val\n";
 }

Answer 5

Please use php explode functions to do it

ex:

 <?php
$q ="menu=true&submenu=true&pcode=123456&code=123456" ;
$pieces = explode("&",$q);
print_r($pieces);
foreach($pieces as $key=>$value){
 $newVarible[]=explode("=",$value);
}
print_r($newVarible);
?>
