  Is d.myKey available in scripts/server_processing.php then for that example or...?

  Yes - in that case you will be able to use $_GET['myKey'] to get the parameter.

  Is that the type of thing this is intended for?

  Bang on! You might use something like:

  $(document).ready(function() {
      $('#example').dataTable( {
          "processing": true,
          "serverSide": true,
          "ajax": {
              "url": "scripts/server_processing.php",
              "type": "POST",
              "data": function ( d ) {
                  d.range_start = ...;
                  d.range_end = ...;
              }
          }
      } );
  } );
  

  filling in the ... with how you get your values of course! Then you will have $_POST['range_start'] and $_POST['range_end'] at the server-side (I've used POST in this example, while the linked example uses GET).

  Does that make sense?
