say that the url of a page is http://www.blahblah.com/joe.php
is there anyway i can echo out the current filename on that page..
example:
on joe.php show something like this:
Blah blah balh the current filename of this page is joe.php
??/
Thanks in advance.
it's stored in global var $PHP_SELF , but with complete path...
use strrpos "/" in case
Try this:
<?php
echo "Blah blah balh the current filename of this page is $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']";
?>
This will display the path and filename. Ex: if your url is http://www.blahblah.com/joe.php it will display /joe.php or http://www.blahblah.com/folder/joe.php it will display /folder/joe.php
You can also use
echo basename($_SERVER[PHP_SELF]);
if you just want the file and not the complete path.
I've never seen $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] before...how is that different from just $PHP_SELF?
Also, if the file is going to be inside a subdirectory, I think you need to use the basename() function if you just want the file name.
The values of $SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and $PHP_SELF are the same. The difference between them is the availability and scope. The $PHP_SELF variable won't be available (i.e. won't be defined) if register_globals is off in the php.ini file. If register_globals is off, you'll have to use $SERVER, $GET, $POST, etc. Also, $SERVER, $GET, $_POST, etc are superglobals. i.e. before you had to do
function func() {
global $PHP_SELF;
print $PHP_SELF;
}
But now you can just do
function func() {
print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
}
In other words, you don't have to tell PHP that $_SERVER is a global variable.
