I have a strange issue. Would like to fetch the $_GET variables from a string with parse_str. Which works except for the first variable.
Makes me wonder if I have written the the syntax correctly. But yes I think I (probably) did.
When I run the following URL :
system/filter/index?filter[date_selecttype]=date&filter[period_start]=08-08-2019&filter[period_end]=31-08-2019&filter[set_date]=30-08-2019&filter[booking_select_type]=booked&filter[booking_panel][6]=on&filter[booking_panel][9]=on&filter[booking_panel][1]=on&filter[booking_panel][2]=on&filter[booking_panel][11]=on&filter[booking_panel][4]=on&filter[booking_panel][5]=on&filter[booking_panel][10]=on&filter[booking_panel][7]=on&filter[booking_panel][3]=on&filter[booking_panel][12]=on&filter[booking_panel][8]=on&filter[booking_state][1]=on&filter[booking_state][0]=on&filter[booking_state][2]=on&filter[booking_state][3]=on&filter[payment_state]=&filter[select_paymentmethod]=&filter[booking_source]=&filter[booking_saleschannel]=&filter[booking_travelcode]=&filter[booking_discountcode]=&execute_filter=1
Through the following code :
$UrlStr = urldecode(str_replace('&', '&', __FULLURL__));
parse_str($UrlStr, $GETVariables);
I receive the following variables :
Array
(
[system/filter/index?filter] => Array
(
[date_selecttype] => date
)
[filter] => Array
(
[period_start] => 08-08-2019
[period_end] => 31-08-2019
[set_date] => 30-08-2019
[booking_select_type] => booked
[booking_panel] => Array
(
[6] => on
[9] => on
[1] => on
[2] => on
[11] => on
[4] => on
[5] => on
[10] => on
[7] => on
[3] => on
[12] => on
[8] => on
)
[booking_state] => Array
(
[1] => on
[0] => on
[2] => on
[3] => on
)
[payment_state] =>
[select_paymentmethod] =>
[booking_source] =>
[booking_saleschannel] =>
[booking_travelcode] =>
[booking_discountcode] =>
)
[execute_filter] => 1
)
It makes me suggest that my syntax is incorrect. system/filter/index?filter
But then is my question. How to format it then? I thought this should work. Whenever I set : index.php?filter it makes no difference in results.
Added the solution as posted by BA_Webimax
$UrlStr = urldecode( str_replace( '&', '&', __FULLURL__ ) );
$query_string = parse_url($UrlStr, PHP_URL_QUERY );
parse_str($query_string, $GETVariables );
And it works as a charm!

)
parse_str() was meant to work on the Query String and not a full URL. In order to properly separate the URL components, I recommend that you use parse_url() first to isolate the query string.
$UrlStr = urldecode( str_replace( '&', '&', __FULLURL__ ) );
$query_string = parse_url( $UrlStr, PHP_URL_QUERY );
parse_str( $query_string, $GETVariables );
