PHP_SELF for creating a complete URL

[cayleyv]

I am generating a shopping cart on a site and need to generate a "back button" to pass to the cart. I tried <? echo $PHP_SELF; ?>
but it doesn't give the complete URL. the offending site is
http://www.heartsparkgifts.com/gallery/chocolatelovers.php

thanks,

<? echo "http://www.heartsparkgifts.com" . $PHP_SELF; ?>

maybe? ;o)

try the $HTTP_POST perhaps as well?

[cayleyv]

yes, this is currently what im doing. it is less elegant than having php write the entire URL though. How does one implement $HTTP_POST ???

[fandelem]

here is the code i tried:

<?php
echo $HTTP_HOST . $PHP_SELF
?>

produces:

www.fandelem.com/test.php

hope this helps

($PHP_SELF adds the beginning / )

cheers,

kyle
