Description Vic Fryzel (shellsage) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-31 06:23:38 UTC
When parse_str() is called with only one parameter it parses the supplied
string, as if it were the query string passed via a URL and sets variables in
the global scope. This is achieved by internally switching register_globals on,
while the string is parsed.
