How to implement something like PHP's http_build_query and the reverse in javascript?

Question

\'bar\',
              \'baz\'=>\'boom\',
              \'cow\'=>\'milk\',
              \'php\'=>\'hypertext processor\');

Try the jQuery query plugin. It's pretty intuitive. You can use get and set accessors to read and modify the query string:

var cow = $.query.get('cow');
$.query.set('cow', 'goat');

You can create a new query object from an existing string:

var fromVar = $.query.load('?cow=milk')
var cow = fromVar.get('cow'); // milk

You can also create an empty object:

var newQ = $.query.empty();
newQ = newQ.set('first', 'value'); // "?first=value"
