That string look suspiciously like a GET request. $myvars = array('approved', 'error', 'authnumber', 'transactionnumber'); foreach ($myvars as $key) { $value_array[$key] = $_GET[$key]; } If it's just a string, something like: $data_array = split('&', $string); foreach ($data_array as $key) { list($mykey, $value) = split('=', $key); $value_array[$mykey] = $value; } More than one way to skin a cat, and my foreach loops are probably wrong. Simple application of the manual really, in the end.
