Get query string values and pass to JQuery

I am trying to create my own custom breadcrumb, to do this I have to get the query string using PHP then pass it to my jQuery. So far I have been able to get the query string keys/values in a foreach loop then place them inside an input, which I can then get the values using jQuery but, my issue is that if I have multiple values for a single key like so; 

?filter_style=bevelled-glass&filter_colour=amber,clear

What I retrieve is both values as one, but I need to be able to separate them. Here is my code and what I am retrieving;

Code;

<?php 
    foreach($_GET as $key => $value){
        echo '<input class="' . $key . '" type="text" value="' . $value . '" style="display: none;">';
    }
?>

output;

<input class="filter_style" type="text" value="bevelled-glass" style="display: none;">
<input class="filter_colour" type="text" value="amber,clear" style="display: none;">

What I want;

<input class="filter_style" type="text" value="bevelled-glass" style="display: none;">
<input class="filter_colour" type="text" value="amber" style="display: none;">
<input class="filter_colour" type="text" value="clear" style="display: none;">

Also is this the best way to pass this data to my jQuery or can I create some sort oJSONon object?

I don't know a ton about PHP, but from what I know about GET requests, you should be able to get the amber,clear as an array and break it out from there. In pseudocode,

foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) {
    if ($value is array) { 
        foreach ($val in $value) {
            <input class="' . $key . '" value="' . $val . '">
        }
    else {
        <input class="' . $key . '" value="' . $value . '">
    }
}

I would be very surprised if that code ran as written, but that's what I do to get through this problem when developing in other languages. Also, in my opinion, it's always better to use JSON wherever you can.

Try something like that's

foreach($_GET as $key => $value){

if(count(explode(',',$value))){

foreach(explode(',',$value) as $subvalue){

echo '<input class="' . $key . '" type="text" value="' . $subvalue . '" style="display: none;">';

}

}else{
echo '<input class="' . $key . '" type="text" value="' . $value . '" style="display: none;">';
}

}

You can explode each value to get an array of items from them and then loop and print.

<?php 
    foreach($_GET as $key => $value){
        $subarray = explode(",",$value);
        foreach($subarray as $subvalue)
        {
             echo '<input class="' . $key . '" type="text" value="' . $subvalue . '" style="display: none;">';
        }
    }
?>
