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

foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) $arr["$key"]= $value;

Answer 2

You can get just the atributes from a URL using parse_url()

Once you have that you can use parse_str() to convert them to variables, it works with multidimensional arrays too!

$str = "first=value&arr[]=foo+bar&arr[]=baz";

parse_str($str, $output);
echo $output['first'];  // value
echo $output['arr'][0]; // foo bar
echo $output['arr'][1]; // baz

Answer 3

$url = 'http://example.com?key1=value1&key2=value2&key3=value3';

preg_match_all('/\w+=.*/',$url,$matches);

parse_str($matches[0][0], $output);

print_r($output);

Answer 4

Try using parse_url

Answer 5

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 '<pre>';
print_r($_GET);
echo '</pre>';

Result:

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