For GET parameters  you can grab them from document location search   var   GET        document location search replace                    amp     amp    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  lt script gt  tag    lt script type  text javascript  gt  var   POST    lt  php echo json encode   POST     gt    document write   POST  test      lt  script gt    While you re at it  doing things on server side   you might collect the GET parameters on PHP as well   var   GET    lt  php echo json encode   GET     gt     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       amp               amp     g       while  tokens   re exec qs             params decodeURIComponent tokens 1                  decodeURIComponent tokens 2               return params     var   GET   getQueryParams document location search

With any server-side language  you will have to emit the POST variables into javascript    NET  var my post variable     lt    Request  post variable     gt      Just be careful of empty values  If the variable you attempt to emit is actually empty  you will get a javascript syntax error  If you know it s a string  you should wrap it in quotes  If it s an integer  you may want to test to see if it actually exists before writing the line to javascript
