parsing - Parse string containing dots in php -

i parse following string:

$str = 'procedurescustomer.tipi_id=10&procedurescustomer.id=1';                  parse_str($str,$f); 

i wish $f parsed into:

array(     'procedurescustomer.tipi_id' => '10',     'procedurescustomer.id' => '1' ) 

actually, parse_str returns

array(         'procedurescustomer_tipi_id' => '10',         'procedurescustomer_id' => '1'     ) 

beside writing own function, know if there php function that?

from php manual:

dots , spaces in variable names converted underscores. example <input name="a.b" /> becomes $_request["a_b"].

so, not possible. parse_str() convert periods underscores. if can't avoid using periods in query variable names, have write custom function achieve this.

the following function (taken this answer) converts names of each key-value pair in query string corresponding hexadecimal form , parse_str() on it. then, they're reverted original form. way, periods aren't touched:

function parse_qs($data) {     $data = preg_replace_callback('/(?:^|(?<=&))[^=[]+/', function($match) {         return bin2hex(urldecode($match[0]));     }, $data);      parse_str($data, $values);      return array_combine(array_map('hex2bin', array_keys($values)), $values); } 

example usage:

$data = parse_qs($_server['query_string']);
