String Parser
The Codefy\Framework\Support\StringParser class turns query strings like foo=bar&baz=1 into arrays. The StringParser can handle both normal keys and array style keys tags[]=php&tags[]=code.
Examples
Simple Parse
<?php
$query = "foo=bar&baz=123";
$result = StringParser::parse($query);
// Result:
[
'foo' => 'bar',
'baz' => '123',
]
With Defaults
<?php
$query = "foo=bar";
$defaults = [
'foo' => 'default',
'baz' => 'not-set',
];
$result = StringParser::parse($query, $defaults);
// Result:
[
'foo' => 'bar', // overridden
'baz' => 'not-set', // from defaults
]
Handling ?
<?php
$query = "?foo=bar&baz=1";
$result = StringParser::parse($query);
// Result:
[
'foo' => 'bar',
'baz' => '1',
]
Array Style Keys
<?php
$query = "tags[]=php&tags[]=code&tags[]=framework";
$result = StringParser::parse($query);
// Result:
[
'tags' => ['php', 'code', 'framework']
]
Strict Mode
<?php
$query = "=missingkey&foo=bar";
$result = StringParser::parse($query, strict: true);
// Result:
[
'foo' => 'bar'
]
// the malformed `=missingkey` is skipped
URL Encoded Input
<?php
$query = "city=New%20York&lang=en";
$result = StringParser::parse($query);
// Result:
[
'city' => 'New York',
'lang' => 'en',
]
