PHP is server side while Javascript is client side. The only way to get you parameters to js would be to return them via an array in an ajax call (ie. return as json) or echo the parameters to the final page where the js will hold them.

Because the file_get_contents function is processed on the server side before sending the response, there is no way for javascript to access the value of the argument. You could, however, use PHP to write additional HTML (or javascript) that's sent in the response; something like this:

  <?php
        echo "<script>var url='http://localhost/" . $_GET["path"] . "?json=" . urlencode($_GET["json"])."';</script>";
    ?>

You'd then have a javascript variable with that argument.
