Get the url parameter in the iframe at the target page

Question

I have created a website called https:www.somePage.com and I'm rendering this page inside another website using iframe. Since I'm using the same iframe in different websites, to track the website that using my https:www.somePage.com I'm adding a parameter called page in the iframe src. So the iframe will be like

<iframe src="https:www.somePage.com?page=company_name" width="100" height="250">

How can I access the parameter page in my website https:www.somePage.com.

In javascript using location.search you can get the parameters. But you've to split it and get the desired value.

Correct, but i think in this case it would be window.top.location.search as he's accessing the containing page of that specific iframe. – Ruslan Abuzant Jan 11 '17 at 06:49
@RuslanAbuzant it'll work fine, he is appending parameters in the iframe src and trying to access it in the iframe window. – Shubham Jan 11 '17 at 06:52
Let me try somehting with location.search and will get back to you. Thanks – Syam Pillai Jan 11 '17 at 06:54
I'm not getting the url when the page is in `iframe`, but getting correctly when it's directly opening in the browser – Syam Pillai Jan 11 '17 at 06:59
@SyamPillai working fine for me. Can you share the parent and child iframe codes. So that I can check. – Shubham Jan 11 '17 at 07:07
Yeah dude. Did some stupid mistakes. Now working fine. Thanks :) – Syam Pillai Jan 11 '17 at 07:08

The webpage containing the iframe is considered the HTTP_REFERER in server terms, and the window.top.locarion.href in client terms. So based on your development environment, you can fetch that. In PHP that would be $ref = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERRER"] and in JS that would be window.top.location.href, good luck.

Actually I'm not accessing the containing page's url. I want to get the **exact iframe src** – Syam Pillai Jan 11 '17 at 06:53
