## Description

``boolean mb_parse_str` (string encoded_string [, array result])`

Warning
This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the name of this function, and anything else documented about this function may change in a future release of PHP without notice. Be warned and use this function at your own risk.

mb_parse_str() parses GET/POST/COOKIE data and sets global variables. Since PHP does not provide raw POST/COOKIE data, it can only used for GET data for now. It preses URL encoded data, detects encoding, converts coding to internal encoding and set values to `result` array or global variables.

`encoded_string`: URL encoded data.

`result`: Array contains decoded and character encoding converted values.

Return Value: It returns `TRUE` for success or `FALSE` for failure.
