You can get the  search  part of the location object - and then parse it out   var matches    param1     amp        exec window location search   var param1   matches 1

Here is a version that JSLint likes     jslint browser  true    var GET        function  input         use strict       if  input length  gt  1            var param   input slice 1  replace     g       split   amp                 plength   param length              tmp              p           for  p   0  p  lt  plength  p    1                tmp   param p  split                   GET decodeURIComponent tmp 0      decodeURIComponent tmp 1                      window location search     window alert JSON stringify GET      Or if you need support for several values for one key like eg   key value1 amp key value2 you can use this     jslint browser  true    var GET        function  input         use strict       if  input length  gt  1            var params   input slice 1  replace     g       split   amp                 plength   params length              tmp              key              val              obj              p           for  p   0  p  lt  plength  p    1                tmp   params p  split                   key   decodeURIComponent tmp 0                val   decodeURIComponent tmp 1                if  GET hasOwnProperty key                     obj   GET key                   if  obj constructor     Array                        obj push val                     else                       GET key     obj  val                                   else                   GET key    val                                  window location search     window alert JSON stringify GET

You don t need to do anything special  actually  You can mix JavaScript and PHP together to get variables from PHP straight into JavaScript   var param1val     lt  php echo   GET  param1     gt

I made this variation of gnarf s solution  so the call and the result is similar to PHP   function S GET id       var a   new RegExp id       amp              return decodeURIComponent a exec window location search  1        But as being called in a function slows the process  its better to use as global   window  var name     decodeURIComponent   var in get     amp        exec window location search  1      UPDATE  As I m still learning JS  I created a better answer in a more JS behaviour   Url         get get            var vars              if window location search length   0              window location search replace     amp        amp         amp     gi  function m key value                   key decodeURIComponent key                   if typeof vars key     undefined    vars key   decodeURIComponent value                    else  vars key      concat vars key   decodeURIComponent value                             return vars             This allows to be called just using Url get   Example The url  param1 param1Value amp param2 param2Value can be called like   Url get param1    param1Value  Url get param2    param2Value    here is a snipet    x000D   x000D     URL GET params x000D  url     a 2 amp a 3 amp b 2 amp a 4   x000D   x000D  Url     x000D      get get    x000D          var vars      x000D          if url length   0  x000D              url replace     amp        amp         amp     gi  function m key value   x000D                  key decodeURIComponent key   x000D                  if typeof vars key     undefined    vars key   decodeURIComponent value    x000D                  else  vars key      concat vars key   decodeURIComponent value     x000D                  x000D          return vars  x000D        x000D     x000D   x000D  document querySelector  log   innerHTML   JSON stringify Url get   x000D   lt log gt  lt  log gt  x000D   x000D   x000D
