note 69254 added to function.parse-str

CONVERT ANY FORMATTED STRING INTO VARIABLES I developed a online payment solution for credit cards using a merchant, and this merchant returns me an answer of the state of the transaction like this: estado=1,txnid=5555444-8454445-4455554,monto=100.00 to have all that data into variables could be fine for me! so i use str_replace(), the problem is this function recognizes each group of variables with the & character... and i have comma separated values... so i replace comma with & <?php $string = "estado=1,txnid=5555444-8454445-4455554,monto=100.00"; $string = str_replace(",","&",$string); parse_str($string); echo $monto; // outputs 100.00 ?> ---- Server IP: 66.163.161.117 Probable Submitter: 200.121.176.59 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-str.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/69254 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69254/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69254/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69254/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69254/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69254/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69254/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69254 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/69254 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
