How to convert params to array

I receive the following URL

/articles?difficulty=1,2

Inside the framework I want to receive an array from that - [1,2]. Is there any method in the framework to convert params like that into an array automatically? Can the framework do that? I can do like that explode(',', $params['difficulty']) - but I'm wondering whether this can be handled by the framework.

I don't want to pass params like that:

/articles?difficulty[]=1&difficulty[]=2

There is no helper in framework Request component for converting such values, it can be easily achieved with native PHP explode function. Use:

$array = explode(',', $string);

as you suggested.

But the wrapper of explode exists - \yii\helpers\StringHelper::explode(), it has additional options for trimming and skipping empty elements, you can use it too. But most of the times using regular explode should be enough.

try this

Use the Request class.

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/yii-web-request.html

print_r(Yii::$app->request->get()); returns all get variables in an array. It's like doing print_r($_GET); in straight php.

If you want a specific $_GET variable you access it as follows:

Yii::$app->request->get('difficulty');

In your case it would be:

$success = Yii::$app->request->get('success');
$token = Yii::$app->request->get('token');

Then after that explode it with comma, so it will get converted into array.

$array = explode(',', $success );
