mb_parse_str

Parse GET/POST/COOKIE data and set global variable

Description

bool mb_parse_str ( string $encoded_string [, array &$result ] )

Parses GET/POST/COOKIE data and sets global variables. Since PHP does not provide raw POST/COOKIE data, it can only be used for GET data for now. It parses URL encoded data, detects encoding, converts coding to internal encoding and set values to the result array or global variables.

Parameters

encoded_string

The URL encoded data.

result

An array containing decoded and character encoded converted values.

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
