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

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

DESCRIPTION
	Parses	GET/POST/COOKIE  data and sets global variables. Since PHP does not provide raw POST/COOKIE data, it can only be used for GET data
       for now. It parses URL encoded data, detects encoding, converts coding to internal encoding and set values to the $result array	or  global
       variables.

PARAMETERS
	      o $encoded_string
		- The URL encoded data.

	      o $result
		- An array containing decoded and character encoded converted values.

RETURN VALUES
	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
