Question

First off, I do not want what is in the URL query. I want what PHP see’s in the$_GET array.

This is because the URL query will not show all the params if mod_rewrite has been used to make pretty URLs

So is there a way to get the query string that would match exactly what is in the php $_GET array?

I came up with a way myself using PHP and JavaScript like so:

function query_string()
{
    <?php
        function assoc_array_to_string ($arr)
        {
            $a = array();
            foreach($arr as $key => $value)
            {
                $str = $key.'='.$value;
                $a[] = $str;
            }
            return implode("&",$a);
        }
    ?>
    return '<?=urlencode(assoc_array_to_string($_GET))?>';
}

…but I need to do this with just javascript if possible because I can’t put PHP code in a .js file.

Answer 1

Won’t JavaScript “only see” the query string? How would client-side script know about any rewrite rules?

The only way I can think of is to use PHP — echo it into a variable in an inline script in your main page rather than the JS file.
