Here is a fast way to get an object similar to the PHP $_GET array:

function get_query(){
    var url = location.href;
    var qs = url.substring(url.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
    for(var i = 0, result = {}; i < qs.length; i++){
        qs[i] = qs[i].split('=');
        result[qs[i][0]] = qs[i][1];
    }
    return result;
}
Usage:

var $_GET = get_query();
For the query string x=5&y&z=hello&x=6 this returns the object:

{
  x: "6",
  y: undefined,
  z: "hello"
}

The window.location object might come useful here:

var parameter = window.location.search.replace( "?", "" ); // will return the GET parameter 

var values = parameter.split("=");

console.log(values); // will return and array as ["name", "sample"]

will return a string of all query string parameters, anchors, and anything else after the question mark.

and you can split the string from '=', and you will get the parameter and the value

Did you test this? parameter = "foo=bar&blah=123", result ["foo", "bar&blah", "123"]

You can use location.href to fetch the full URL and then extract the values using split
