[SOLVED] $_GET[''] in javascript

[plutomed]

Is there a way to do this???

You didn't really describe exactly what you want to do...

 

I'm guessing you have something like this in mind (?):

 

<script>
var get_variable = '<?php echo $_GET['variable']; ?>';
alert(get_variable);
</script>

 

If not, please explain more.

I know how to do it that way I guess I could do it like that. Is there no way to do it with javascript then coz It's in the *.js file at the moment.

I see...

I found this somewhere in the vast cavern of knowledge we call the web:

 

<script>
function getQueryVariable(variable) {
   var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
   var vars = query.split("&");
   for (var i=0;i<vars.length;i++) {
      var pair = vars[i].split("=");
      if (pair[0] == variable) {
         return pair[1];
      }
   }
   alert('Query Variable ' + variable + ' not found');
}
</script>

 

Now make a request to page.html?x=Hello

 

<script>
alert( getQueryVariable("x") );
</script>

 

Note that it only works with GET, not POST.

 

Hope that helps.

Yea I thought about doing it with the split but I thought again because I need a specific one out of the URL. I think I will just put the JS at the top of the page and use php. Thanx anyways.
