your desire output will wrong. your array should be like Array ( [0] => Array ( [sender] => 48 ) [1] => Array ( [destination] => 51 ) [2] => Array ( [message] => hi+good ) [3] => Array ( [sender] => 48 ) [4] => Array ( [destination] => 49 ) [5] => Array ( [message] => good+boy ) ) — RJParikh

This should work as inteded, to solve this problem, you just need to use explode() correctly, otherwise it's easy.

Here you go :

$firstarr=explode('&',$yourstring);
$desiredarr=array();
foreach($firstarr as $pair)
{
    $exp_pair=explode('=',$pair);
    $desiredarr[$exp_pair[0]]=$exp_pair[1];
}

print_r($desiredarr);

If it is from query string then you can just use $_REQUEST otherwise you need to explode() string using & as separator. Then for each item in array that explode() generate, you split with = and add it to final array
or using parse_str().

How do you call explode()?

$array = explode("&", $array); The key is coming in 0, 1 series.
