note 29619 added to function.parse-str

If you want to do much more manipulation of a query string you should probably first turn it into an array with parse_str(). Also, if you're working with xhtml and you want it to validate you must use & to separate any name-value pairs. This example takes a either a vaild or invalid xhtml query string and turns it into an array... $example_string = 'action=kick&item=me' $example_string = str_replace('&', '&', $example_string); parse_str($example_string, $query_array); print_r($query_array); // Outputs Array ( [action] => kick [item] => me ) -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-str.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+29619 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+29619 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+29619
