How to get parameters from a URL string?

Question

I have a HTML form field $_POST[\"url\"] having some URL strings as the value. Example values are:

https://example.com/test/1234?email=xyz@test.com
         


        

Answer 1

To get parameters from URL string, I used following function.

var getUrlParameter = function getUrlParameter(sParam) {
    var sPageURL = decodeURIComponent(window.location.search.substring(1)),
        sURLVariables = sPageURL.split('&'),
        sParameterName,
        i;

    for (i = 0; i < sURLVariables.length; i++) {
        sParameterName = sURLVariables[i].split('=');

        if (sParameterName[0] === sParam) {
            return sParameterName[1] === undefined ? true : sParameterName[1];
        }
    }
};
var email = getUrlParameter('email');

If there are many URL strings, then you can use loop to get parameter 'email' from all those URL strings and store them in array.
