Serialized string to array in PHP
<p>I receive a string from jQuery UI Sortable plugin, it gives me a string like this one</p>

<pre><code>items[]=1&amp;items[]=2&amp;items[]=3
</code></pre>

<p>How can I trun it into a real array?</p>

<p>I was thinking replacing <code>&amp;</code> with <code>;</code> and asserting it. Any better suggestions?</p>
