Jquery replace URL parameters

I am replacing my URL parameters using the below code...

var myParams = jQuery.param(myParams);
history.replaceState(null, null, "?" + myParams);

Open in new window

then I am trying to get the results using this code...

function GetURLParameter(sParam)
{
    var sPageURL = window.location.search.substring(1);
    var sURLVariables = sPageURL.split('&');
    for (var i = 0; i < sURLVariables.length; i++) 
    {
        var sParameterName = sURLVariables[i].split('=');
        if (sParameterName[0] == sParam) 
        {
            return sParameterName[1];
        }
    }
}

var tech = GetURLParameter('technology');

Open in new window

Example showed on this page: http://www.jquerybyexample.net/2012/06/get-url-parameters-using-jquery.html

The above is fine for fields that have just one value, but some of my field have more than one value. For example...

http://dummy.com/?technology=jquery&technology=php&blog=jquerybyexample

var tech = GetURLParameter('technology');

Only gets the first value. How would get all values that are associated to 'technology'?

Currently the return from GetURLParameter() is a string with the value associated with that parm. If there are multiple values how would you want those returned?

You will see from my example the 'technology' param is repeated with a second value. However currently it only outputs one value. How can I output all the technology values as an array?

Bill Prew

So you would always want the return from that function to be an array, which would be the case even if there was just one value for that param, that would be okay? And then your calling code would have to be adjusted to expect and deal with an array.

An array is fine for all if easier. Can you supply an example of what to do please?
