Definition and usage
The parse_str() function parses the query string into variables.
Grammar
parse_str(string,array)
Parameter Description
string required. Specifies the string to parse.
array optional. Specifies the name of the array to store the variable. This parameter instructs the variable to be stored in an array.
Tips and Notes
Note: If the array parameter is not set, the variables set by this function will overwrite variables already set by the same name.
Note: The magic_quotes_gpc setting in php.ini affects the output of this function. If enabled, variables are transformed by addslashes() before being parsed by parse_str() .
Example
Example 1
$str="1|2|3|4|5|";
$var=explode("|",$str);
print_r($var) ;
?>
$var=explode("|",$str);
Split $str according to |
php and other methods split the specified characters in the string into arrays
str_split(string, length) parameter description
string required. Specifies the string to be split.
length optional. Specifies the length of each array element. The default is 1.
The json_decode() function can also split the string into an array (the second parameter is true only)
This function is substr example: echo substr('abcdef123', 1, 3); // Output bcd
If you are splitting the string into single characters, use split('abcde' ), this returns an array.
If your string has fixed delimiters, you can use explode('|','a|b|cd|e'). This returns an array.
