@Mohammad answer of *12emam* is just plagiarized example from PHP docs. Specifically Example #1 from the PHP docs: php.net/manual/en/function.parse-str.php – Madhur Bhaiya Oct 13 '18 at 07:31

While parse_str() is certainly convenient, there is another option using preg_split() as follows:

<?php

$str = "sortAfter=1&searchString=vsfweew";

list($e1,$sortAfter,$e2,$searchString) = preg_split("/=|&/",$str);
$arr[$e1] = $sortAfter;
$arr[$e2] = $searchString;
print_r($arr);

See live code

Preg_split() splits a string into an array whose values can then be assigned to a list of variables which include in this case variables that correspond to element names while others refer to element values. The list variables are then used to build a new array $arr.
