php printing a text variable from a curl function

Question

I have a curl function which outputs the following text from an api. number=1&id=731&name=test&value=6311

How could I make a variable which will store one of these values in the text such as I want to make a variable called $name which will have the 'test' value from the output of the api. I saw different things such as in json you can use $variable['name'] but it doesn't seem to work like this.. help

Show the code you've tried - your php code and your curl command and sample of what gets returned — dbmitch, Jul 18 '16 at 17:09
`parse_str('number=1&id=731&name=test&value=6311'); echo $name; // test` — splash58, Jul 18 '16 at 17:09
Or so `parse_str('number=1&id=731&name=test&value=6311', $variable); echo $variable['name'];` — splash58, Jul 18 '16 at 17:14

Check this:

Parse query string into an array

Use parse_str function, it looks like:

 $get_string = "number=1&id=731&name=test&value=6311";

 parse_str($get_string, $get_array);

 print_r($get_array);
