Parse query string into an array

Question

How can I turn a string below into an array?

pg_id=2&parent_id=2&document&video

This is the array I am looking for,

array(
'pg_id' => 2,
'parent_id' => 2,
'document' => ,
'video' =>
)

You want the parse_str function, and you need to set the second parameter to have the data put in an array instead of into individual variables.

 $get_string = "pg_id=2&parent_id=2&document&video";

 parse_str($get_string, $get_array);

 print_r($get_array);

There are several possible methods, but for you, there is already a builtin function

$array = array();
parse_str($string, $array);
var_dump($array);
