as the same as our friends say decode the string

parse_str(urldecode('type%3Dbasic%26WhatPropType%3DSingle%2BFamily%2BResidential%26WhatDistrict%255B0%255D%3DHaiku%26WhatStartPrice%3D90000%26WhatEndPrice%3D30000000%26WhatStartBed%3D%26WhatStartBath%3D0%26DaysAgo%3D%26WhatStartIntArea%3D%26WhatSortDirection1%3DDESC%26start%3D0%26WhatNumber%3D10'), $array);

and get value like this

$array['type']  //out put "basic"

You firstly need to decode your url, then pass it to parse_str. The second parameter for parse_str is what will be populated with your data. So you can do the following:

parse_str(urldecode('type%3Dbasic%26WhatPropType%3DSingle%2BFamily%2BResidential%26WhatDistrict%255B0%255D%3DHaiku%26WhatStartPrice%3D90000%26WhatEndPrice%3D30000000%26WhatStartBed%3D%26WhatStartBath%3D0%26DaysAgo%3D%26WhatStartIntArea%3D%26WhatSortDirection1%3DDESC%26start%3D0%26WhatNumber%3D10'), $array);
var_dump($array);

will output

array(12) {
  ["type"]=>
  string(5) "basic"
  ["WhatPropType"]=>
  string(25) "Single Family Residential"
  ["WhatDistrict"]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    string(5) "Haiku"
  }
  ["WhatStartPrice"]=>
  string(5) "90000"
  ["WhatEndPrice"]=>
  string(8) "30000000"
  ["WhatStartBed"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["WhatStartBath"]=>
  string(1) "0"
  ["DaysAgo"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["WhatStartIntArea"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["WhatSortDirection1"]=>
  string(4) "DESC"
  ["start"]=>
  string(1) "0"
  ["WhatNumber"]=>
  string(2) "10"
}
