js issue to php

A currently existing page is handed a value like this :

page.htm?code

in the html of that page :

A currently existing page is handed a value like this:
page.htm?code_value


in the html of that page :

<script type="text/javascript">

code    = (self.location.search) ? self.location.search.substring(1) :
"none";

if (code == "code_value")
{
// build url ...
}

</script>



I want to change the js to php ... but how do I get the code value ?
because, if I understand correctly, php would expect ?code=value

Elementary, dear Watson.

<?php

$code = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

if($code=="code_value"){
// build code
}
?>

Although the part of a URL you have shown may be correct, I've never seend
this format being used before and you may be storing up problems by keeping
the format (instead of, say, page.html?code_value=1).

Running as a module PHP should have full view of the requested URI. Try
phpinfo() for the right variable to use. It wont automatically
aassign/create a variable wrt 'code_value'.

thx, works.

It may not be the most beautiful solution but it stays compatible this way
with the earlier implementation.
