Multiple keys with the same value? Are you sure? Ever heard of [`parse_str()`](http://www.php.net/parse_str)? — Ja͢ck, Dec 07 '12 at 13:01

parse_str($str, $values);
var_dump($values);

You are parsing a URL encoded format, use the already existing parse_str to parse it.

$string = 'code=AA&price=10&user_id=5';
$params = array();
parse_str($string, $params);
print_r($params);

You can have a +1 from me if you add a `$` symbol to `outputArray` :) – Dale Dec 07 '12 at 13:16
