assign vaiables from string values

I have this string where the values can be in any order and any number of sets with ='
For example this string:
"bb=also aa=This cc=is dd=a ee=string"

I want to process the string and set the respective variables to the value so that:
$bb=also
$aa=This
$cc=is
$ee=string
$dd=a

This seems to work for me

Code:

eval  "bb=also aa=This cc=is dd=a ee=string"

echo $bb $aa $cc $dd $ee
