Adding extra variables to a URL

Question

Using JavaScript I managed to add a variable to a page and used $_GET on the new page to use the variable to perform queries. This first implementation worked fine as I was only using one variable. However I need to use two variables now and I'm running into some problems while doing it. If I combine both variables in the first page like shown below, the values are mixed up where my db value goes to my table id.

 window.location.assign("test.php?db=&tbl=" + yourDB);

I tried putting both IDs only in my new page and using reload as my DB value would already have been passed. Using

 window.location.reload("test.php?db=&tbl=" + yourTbl);

But this doesnt work either.

How can I get the url to have both my DB and table in the correct format? Like

test.php?db=test&tbl=customer

EDIT yourDB variable is passed from a select form option from a different page which in turn opens the new page where the yourTbl variable exists.I can't therefore call yourDb

window.location = 'test.php?db=' + yourDB + '&tbl=' + yourTbl ;

'OP is asking: yourDB since this variable stores the values of select options from a different page.Any ideas'

My answer is 'Get value from selection menu list in the another page, and save this value into local storage or session storage.'

Something like this,

// save your db
window.sessionStorage.setItem("db", yourDB)
// get your db
var obj = window.sessionStorage.getItem("db");

I think that those variables need to be switched (db=' + yourDB) :)
