how to find name of current PHP file?

[Anon]

Hi There.

I want to know how I can find the name of the current PHP script that is run.

For example if I load up myfile.php how do I figure out what that file name is?

You see, I have a header.inc type file that has some PHP code in there and I want that code to execute on most pages except a handful of pages. I figure that I could just put an:

if(!$page == myfile.php) {
execute code
}

make sense? or is there a better way to do this?

thanks!

There is a variable called $PHP_SELF which tells you the name of the current file.

So if you wanted to print the name of the current file you would use:

echo $PHP_SELF;

basename($PHP_SELF);

will give you the name stripped of the directory path.
