I want to read out a GET variable from an url using jquery
The domain is displayed like this
http://example.com/p/kT2Rnu35
And the original is :
http://example.com/php/page.php?id=kT2Rnu35
I want to get that id using jQuery from the page with the domain http://example.com/p/kT2Rnu35
I've tried window.location and other functions i found on stack overflow but nothing worked. Is it because i'm changing the url using htaccess ?
window.location.href will give you the url with parameters
From there just use .split to break it apart
const getParameterByName = (name, url) => {
const regex = new RegExp(`[?&]${name}(=([^&#]*)|&|#|$)`);
const results = regex.exec(url);
if (!results) return null;
if (!results[2]) return '';
return decodeURIComponent(results[2].replace(/\+/g, ' '));
};
let url = 'https://website.com/abc?id=123';
console.log(getParameterByName('id', url));
// For url like this `http://example.com/p/kT2Rnu35` simply get the last token after `/`
url = 'http://example.com/p/kT2Rnu35';
let id = url.substring(url.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
console.log(id);
