Description:
------------
Anything after %3C (>) in a query string value is being ignored by parse_str().

For instance, given the request:
http://example.com/script.php?to=me+%3Cmail%40example.com%3E

$_GET['to'] is "me " instead of "me <mail@example.com>"


Reproduce code:
---------------
$query= "to=".urlencode("me <mail@example.com>");
parse_str($query);
print $to;

Expected result:
----------------
me <mail@example.com>

Actual result:
--------------
me

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

It works fine, your browser simply treating <email> as HTML tag and not showing it. If you view the HTML source you'll see all of the text.
