_parseQuery

line:750 at /lib/Cake/Network/Http/HttpSocket.php
This function can be thought of as a reverse to PHP5's http_build_query(). It takes a given query string and turns it into an array and supports nesting by using the php bracket syntax. So this means you can parse queries like:

Method

(array) protected _parseQuery ($query)

Parameters

ParameterTypeCommentDefault
$query mixed required A query string to parse into an array or an array to return directly "as is"

Return

array

Comment

This function can be thought of as a reverse to PHP5's http_build_query(). It takes a given query string and turns it into an array and
supports nesting by using the php bracket syntax. So this means you can parse queries like:

- ?key[subKey]=value
- ?key[]=value1&key[]=value2

A leading '?' mark in $query is optional and does not effect the outcome of this function.
For the complete capabilities of this implementation take a look at HttpSocketTest::testparseQuery()

@param mixed $query A query string to parse into an array or an array to return directly "as is"
@return array The $query parsed into a possibly multi-level array. If an empty $query is
given, an empty array is returned.
