How can I convert this to an array in PHP?
&height=0&weight=2&width=10
I'm passing a data from a jquery function using .serialize() to a PHP function.
Any ideas?

Can be done within one line. :)
parse_str('&height=0&weight=2&width=10', $array);
print_r($array);

One-liner only if you don't have strict error reporting! :] If you have, you'll have to declare
$array = array() first or you get stuck with undeclared variable notice. And one-liner dream is gone! :]Depending on what type of request you are performing, it may already be in an array. Have a look at the PHP documentation on $_GET and $_POST global variables.
To view the contents of said array. You can use the function print_r() which will show you the contents of the array.
print_r($_GET)
print_r($_POST)
Access individual items in the array by the item's key. For example:
echo $_POST['height'];
serialize()properly, it would already be an array in either$_POSTor$_GETon the serverside, depending on the method you're using.print_r($_GET),print_r($_POST)
