Embedded Array

[Andy Lee]

Hi

I have a form sending a variable 'details' as a hidden field :

The details variable value (set in the html) is : -
Q1=A1&Q2=A2&Q3= A3 ........

When php requests this string - i would like it to turn it into an array.
As you can see, it is already similar to the HTTP Querystring format.

How can i turn it into an array.

Thanks

$details = array();
foreach (explode("&", $_POST['details']) as $value) {
$value = explode("=", $value);
$details[$value[0]] = $value[1];
}

Use parse_str($stri ng, $array).
