Developing PHP Applications

Here’s my javascript function that fetch URL parameters (kinda PHP’s $_GET emulator).

function URL_param(param){
    // this condition suppress error
    if(location.href.match(param+'=')) return location.href.toString().split(param+'=')[1].split(’&’)[0];
}

eg.

URL:

http://www.zhannar.com/?param1=value1&param2=value2

JS script:

alert(URL_param('param2'));

returns:

value2

Simple.
