How can JavaScript be used to control the behavior of a PHP page when accessed through the address bar?

When a user accesses a PHP page directly through the address bar, JavaScript can be used to control the behavior by detecting the URL parameters or specific conditions and executing certain actions accordingly. This can be achieved by embedding JavaScript code within the PHP page that checks for the presence of specific parameters in the URL or other conditions, and then dynamically modifies the page content or triggers certain functions based on the detected conditions.

php 
<?php
// PHP code to detect URL parameters and execute JavaScript based on conditions
?>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>PHP Page with JavaScript Control</title>
</head>
<body>

<script>
    // JavaScript code to check URL parameters and control page behavior
    const urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
    if (urlParams.has('param1')) {
        // Execute specific action for param1
        console.log('Parameter 1 detected');
    } else {
        // Default action if parameter not found
        console.log('No parameter detected');
    }
</script>

</body>
</html>
