Parse query string into an array

How can I turn a string below into an array?

pg_id=2&parent_id=2&document&video 

This is the array I am looking for,

array(
    'pg_id' => 2,
    'parent_id' => 2,
    'document' => ,
    'video' =>
)

Answer

You want the parse_str function, and you need to set the second parameter to have the data put in an array instead of into individual variables.

$get_string = "pg_id=2&parent_id=2&document&video";

parse_str($get_string, $get_array);

print_r($get_array);
