Why not parse\_str?
-------------------

[](#why-not-parse_str)

Because `parse_str` works only with a URL query string format.

So `foo="bar"` will be parsed like

```
array(1) {
  ["foo"]=>
  string(5) ""bar""
}

```

We have double-quoted value `"bar"`. Instead, you can use `parse_pair` and if value is a valid double-quoted it will be expanded

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require hyqo/pair
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use function Hyqo\Pair\parse_pair;

[$key, $value] = parse_pair('foo="bar"');

echo $key; //foo
echo $bar; //bar
```

If string is valid, it will be parsed:

stringkeyvalue`foo=``foo`empty string`foo=""``foo`empty string`foo=bar``foo``bar``foo="bar"``foo``bar``foo='bar'``foo``bar``foo="\"bar\""``foo``"bar"``foo="\"bar"``foo``"bar``foo="multi\nline"``foo``multi`
`line``foo='multi\nline'``foo``multi`
`line`If string is invalid, result will be `null`:

string`foo="bar\"``foo='bar\'``foo="bar""``foo='bar''`
