For GET parameters, you can grab them from document.location.search
:
var $_GET = {};
document.location.search.replace(/\??(?:([^=]+)=([^&]*)&?)/g, function () {
function decode(s) {
return decodeURIComponent(s.split("+").join(" "));
}
$_GET[decode(arguments[1])] = decode(arguments[2]);
});
document.write($_GET["test"]);
For POST parameters, you can serialize the $_POST
object in JSON format into a <script>
tag:
<script type="text/javascript">
var $_POST = <?php echo json_encode($_POST); ?>;
document.write($_POST["test"]);
</script>
While you’re at it (doing things on server side), you might collect the GET parameters on PHP as well:
var $_GET = <?php echo json_encode($_GET); ?>;
Note: You’ll need PHP version 5 or higher to use the built-in json_encode
function.
Update: Here’s a more generic implementation:
function getQueryParams(qs) {
qs = qs.split("+").join(" ");
var params = {},
tokens,
re = /[?&]?([^=]+)=([^&]*)/g;
while (tokens = re.exec(qs)) {
params[decodeURIComponent(tokens[1])]
= decodeURIComponent(tokens[2]);
}
return params;
}
var $_GET = getQueryParams(document.location.search);
