Converting a querystring into an associative array

Question

In PHP, I need a function to convert a querystring from an URL, say: http://example.com?key1=value1&key2=value2 into a PHP associative array : array [

Answer 1

If you mean as what you written then it is very simple and don't need anything else there is a predefined Superglobal variable $_GET in PHP which itself represents all the query string as key, value pairs associative array.

Example:

// current page URI: http://localhost/test.php?key1=value1&key2=value2

echo '
';
print_r($_GET);
echo '
';

Result:

Array(
    [key1] = value1
    [key2] = value2
)
