mb_parse_str — Parse GET/POST/COOKIE data and set global variable

### Description

bool mb_parse_str ( string `$encoded_string` [, array `&$result` ] )

mb_parse_str() parses GET/POST/COOKIE data and sets global variables. Since PHP does not provide raw POST/COOKIE data, it can only used for GET data for now. It preses URL encoded data, detects encoding, converts coding to internal encoding and set values to `result` array or global variables.

`encoded_string` : URL encoded data.

`result` : Array contains decoded and character encoding converted values.

Return Value: It returns `TRUE` for success or `FALSE` for failure.
