Question

I’m trying to figure out how to stored php values in a string/file.
I have a text file with “var1=foo&var2=foo2” etc in it, is there a way to read the values?

Answer 1

You could use file_get_contents() to open the file and parse_url() to parse the contents into an associative array.

$file = file_get_contents('file.txt');

parse_str($file, $params);
