Turn querystring into associative array

thing.php

$querystring = 'first=jeff&last=way';
$final = array();

foreach( explode('&', $querystring) as $p ) {
	list($key, $value) = explode('=', $p);
	$final[$key] = $value;
}

// Test it
echo "<pre>";
print_r($final);
echo "</pre>";

I'm sure there's a more "proper" solution, but this should work until then. :)

Hello Jeffrey. I think this solution is more proper. :)

$querystring = 'first=jeff&last=way';

parse_str( $querystring, $final );

// Test it
echo "<pre>";
print_r($final);
echo "</pre>";

It absolutely is. :) The guy who asked me couldn't use parse_str for some reason. (I think it turned out to be a typo or something)

Most likely it was typo, cause parse_str is supported since PHP4
