Well, if you use $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"] it will return something like /directory_1/directory_2/script.php3

If you only want the last past, script.php3 you can use this little code :

<?
 $scp = $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"];
 $pds = strrpos($scp, "/");
 $url = substr($scp, $pds + 1);
?>

If you want everything from the [url]http://[/url] to the .php*, you can use this :

$url = "http://" . $SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . $SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"];

It is what you want ?
