You use parse_str for this. (http://php.net/manual/en/function.parse-str.php)

$output = array();
parse_str($str, $output);
echo $output['first'];  // value
echo $output['arr'][0]; // foo bar
echo $output['arr'][1]; // baz

Or you can parse it into local variables

$str = "first=value&arr[]=foo+bar&arr[]=baz";
parse_str($str);
echo $first;  // value
echo $arr[0]; // foo bar
echo $arr[1]; // baz

You can try the following : inside this foreach you will get all the get parameters and then you can store them in an array.

foreach($_GET as $key => $value) {

 //your code here

}

$your_str = 'birs_appointment_price=&birs_appointment_duration=&birs_appointment_alternative_staff=&birs_shortcode_page_url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Fstreamline-new%2Fworkshop%2F&_wpnonce=855cbbdefa&_wp_http_referer=%2Fstreamline-new%2Fworkshop%2F&birs_appointment_location=17858&birs_appointment_staff=-1&birs_appointment_avaliable_staff=-1%2C17859&birs_appointment_service=-1&birs_appointment_date=&birs_appointment_notes=&birs_appointment_fields%5B%5D=_birs_appointment_notes&birs_client_type=new&birs_client_name_first=&birs_client_fields%5B%5D=_birs_client_name_first&birs_client_name_last=&birs_client_fields%5B%5D=_birs_client_name_last&birs_client_email=&birs_client_fields%5B%5D=_birs_client_email&birs_field_1=&birs_client_fields%5B%5D=_birs_field_1&birs_client_fields%5B%5D=_birs_field_6&s=';

$_VARS = array();
parse_str($your_str, $_VARS);

echo $_VARS['birs_appointment_price'];
