Using Javascript to get URL Vars, not working when multiple values present in QueryString
- by bateman_ap
Hi, I am using a Javascript function to get the values of a URL to pass to jQuery using the function below:
function getUrlVars()
{
var vars = [], hash;
var hashes = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++)
{
hash = hashes[i].split('=');
vars.push(hash[0]);
vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
}
return vars;
}
And then setting the value like this:
var type = getUrlVars()["type"]
This all works perfectly, however I have just come into a situation where I need to get multiple values, one of my form elements are checkboxes where multiple values can be checked, so my URL will look something like this:
http://www.domain.com/test.php?type=1&cuisine[]=23&cuisine[]=43&name=test
If I alert out the cuisine value using the function above I only ever get the final value:
alert (getUrlVars()["cuisine[]"]);
Would alert "43".
What I would like it to be is a comma delimited string of all "cuisine" values. ie in the above example "23,43"
Any help very welcome! In case any solution requires it I am using PHP 5.3 and Jquery 1.4
