How can I get parameters from a URL string?
You can use the parse_url()
and parse_str()
for that.
$parts = parse_url($url);
parse_str($parts['query'], $query);
echo $query['email'];
If you want to get the $url
dynamically with PHP, take a look at this question: Get the full URL in PHP
How can I get query string values in JavaScript?
Update: Jan-2022
Using Proxy()
is faster than using Object.fromEntries()
and better supported
const params = new Proxy(new URLSearchParams(window.location.search), {
get: (searchParams, prop) => searchParams.get(prop),
});
// Get the value of "some_key" in eg "https://example.com/?some_key=some_value"
let value = params.some_key; // "some_value"
Update: June-2021For a specific case when you need all query params:
const urlSearchParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
const params = Object.fromEntries(urlSearchParams.entries());
Update: Sep-2018You can use URLSearchParams which is simple and has decent (but not complete) browser support.
const urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
const myParam = urlParams.get('myParam');
OriginalYou don't need jQuery for that purpose. You can use just some pure JavaScript:
function getParameterByName(name, url = window.location.href) {
name = name.replace(/[\[\]]/g, '\\$&');
var regex = new RegExp('[?&]' + name + '(=([^]*)|&|#|$)'),
results = regex.exec(url);
if (!results) return null;
if (!results[2]) return '';
return decodeURIComponent(results[2].replace(/\+/g, ' '));
}
Usage:// query string: ?foo=lorem&bar=&baz
var foo = getParameterByName('foo'); // "lorem"
var bar = getParameterByName('bar'); // "" (present with empty value)
var baz = getParameterByName('baz'); // "" (present with no value)
var qux = getParameterByName('qux'); // null (absent)
NOTE: If a parameter is present several times (?foo=lorem&foo=ipsum
), you will get the first value (lorem
). There is no standard about this and usages vary, see for example this question: Authoritative position of duplicate HTTP GET query keys.NOTE: The function is case-sensitive. If you prefer case-insensitive parameter name, add 'i' modifier to RegExp
NOTE: If you're getting a no-useless-escape eslint error, you can replace name = name.replace(/[\[\]]/g, '\\$&');
with name = name.replace(/[[\]]/g, '\\$&')
.
This is an update based on the new URLSearchParams specs to achieve the same result more succinctly. See answer titled "URLSearchParams" below.
Get the values from the GET parameters (JavaScript)
JavaScript itself has nothing built in for handling query string parameters.
Code running in a (modern) browser can use the URL
object (a Web API). URL
is also implemented by Node.js:
// You can get url_string from window.location.href if you want to work with
// the URL of the current page
var url_string = "http://www.example.com/t.html?a=1&b=3&c=m2-m3-m4-m5";
var url = new URL(url_string);
var c = url.searchParams.get("c");
console.log(c);
How to get URL parameter using jQuery or plain JavaScript?
Best solution here.
var getUrlParameter = function getUrlParameter(sParam) {
var sPageURL = 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 : decodeURIComponent(sParameterName[1]);
}
}
return false;
};
And this is how you can use this function assuming the URL is,http://dummy.com/?technology=jquery&blog=jquerybyexample
.var tech = getUrlParameter('technology');
var blog = getUrlParameter('blog');
Get URL parameters from a string in .NET
Use static ParseQueryString
method of System.Web.HttpUtility
class that returns NameValueCollection
.
Uri myUri = new Uri("http://www.example.com?param1=good¶m2=bad");
string param1 = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(myUri.Query).Get("param1");
Check documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms150046.aspx Manipulate a url string by adding GET parameters
Basic method
$query = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY);
// Returns a string if the URL has parameters or NULL if not
if ($query) {
$url .= '&category=1';
} else {
$url .= '?category=1';
}
More advanced$url = 'http://example.com/search?keyword=test&category=1&tags[]=fun&tags[]=great';
$url_parts = parse_url($url);
// If URL doesn't have a query string.
if (isset($url_parts['query'])) { // Avoid 'Undefined index: query'
parse_str($url_parts['query'], $params);
} else {
$params = array();
}
$params['category'] = 2; // Overwrite if exists
$params['tags'][] = 'cool'; // Allows multiple values
// Note that this will url_encode all values
$url_parts['query'] = http_build_query($params);
// If you have pecl_http
echo http_build_url($url_parts);
// If not
echo $url_parts['scheme'] . '://' . $url_parts['host'] . $url_parts['path'] . '?' . $url_parts['query'];
You should put this in a function at least, if not a class. Get the GET variables from a URL String
parse_str(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY), $array)
, see the manpage for parse_str for more info.
Get URL query string parameters
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']
contains the data that you are looking for.

How to retrieve GET parameters from JavaScript
With the window.location object. This code gives you GET without the question mark.
window.location.search.substr(1)
From your example it will return returnurl=%2Fadmin
EDIT: I took the liberty of changing Qwerty's answer, which is really good, and as he pointed I followed exactly what the OP asked:
function findGetParameter(parameterName) {
var result = null,
tmp = [];
location.search
.substr(1)
.split("&")
.forEach(function (item) {
tmp = item.split("=");
if (tmp[0] === parameterName) result = decodeURIComponent(tmp[1]);
});
return result;
}
I removed the duplicated function execution from his code, replacing it a variable ( tmp ) and also I've added decodeURIComponent
, exactly as OP asked. I'm not sure if this may or may not be a security issue.Or otherwise with plain for loop, which will work even in IE8:
function findGetParameter(parameterName) {
var result = null,
tmp = [];
var items = location.search.substr(1).split("&");
for (var index = 0; index < items.length; index++) {
tmp = items[index].split("=");
if (tmp[0] === parameterName) result = decodeURIComponent(tmp[1]);
}
return result;
}
How to get GET (query string) variables in Express.js on Node.js?
In Express it's already done for you and you can simply use req.query for that:
var id = req.query.id; // $_GET["id"]
Otherwise, in NodeJS, you can access req.url and the builtin url
module to url.parse it manually:var url = require('url');
var url_parts = url.parse(request.url, true);
var query = url_parts.query;
