Getting values from a query string

[Paulkirkewalker]

Hi there,

 

I've used the cUrl library to return a query string from a remote server to a variable.  The

 

query string looks a bit like this:

 

...php?message_id=a1&recipient=unit1&sendday=fri

 

At the moment, the whole of this query string is contained in a single variable ($qstring) so if I print $qstring, "message_id=a1&recipient=unit1&sendday=fri" will be sent to the browser.

 

 

Can anyone tell me how to break the values "a1", "unit1" and "fri" into individual variables

 

so that I can start using them in the rest of my code like this:

 

$message_id = "a1";

$recipient = "unit1";

$sendday = "fri";

 

I'd like to achive this in the same php script rather than sending it to another page to GET

 

the elements of the query string.

 

Thanks in advance,

Paul.

$str = 'message_id=a1&recipient=unit1&sendday=fri';

$parts = explode('&', $str);

foreach ($parts as $var) {
  $var = explode('=', $var);
  $$var[0] = $var[1];
}

echo $message_id . "<br />" . $recipient . '<br />' . $sendday;
